Tull on the River Waal

Nicolaas Wicart

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a river landscape with people in a boat close to the viewer, two larger boats further out, and additional sailboats in the distance. A windmill, village, and church steeple are visible among the trees. The horizon is low in the composition, with a vast sky above. The artwork is monochromatic, using shades of gray to depict depth and atmosphere. Brushstrokes are delicate, conveying the calm water and the cloudy sky.
