River with Town

Cornelis Ploos van Amstel (editor) and Bernhard Schreuder (printmaker), after Pieter Coopse

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a riverscape with a low vantage point looking out over the water. The horizon is low, revealing buildings and a structure that looks like a church with a spire. In the foreground, a person is in a rowboat facing left. Further back, two sailboats are anchored, and more boats can be seen in the distance. The scene is rendered in soft graphite with varying intensities to show depth and distance.
