Title: [Antique drawing/ tekening] River landscape with cattle resting under a tree (Rivierlandschap met koeien onder een boom), ca. 1850-1900.
Description: River landscape with cattle resting under a tree, on the other side of the canal. On the left a little bridge. The artist indulged here in the study of light: lighter touches highlight the regions invested by the sunlight. The study is probably less successful in the proximity of the animals. Monogrammed on the verso: E.S.. Drawing on paper, pencil and pen with brown and black ink, washed in grey; total: 205 x 275 mm; despite a small fold on the bottom, in good condition.
