Souvenir of Gouda is a 1890 oil by Edmond de Schampheleer, held at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
This serene landscape painting depicts a tranquil scene of a riverbank, where a boat with a billowing sail is moored to the left. In the foreground, a dirt path winds its way through a grassy area dotted with trees and a few chickens pecking at the ground. Two figures sit on the path, engaged in conversation. The atmosphere is one of peacefulness, with the soft, muted colors of the painting evoking a sense of calm. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene.
