Cottages beside a River is a 1645 oil by Frans de Hulst, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a river flowing in front of cottages. The scene is set under a cloudy sky, with trees surrounding the cottages and a figure standing near the water's edge. The artist has used a muted color palette to create a sense of calmness in the scene. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured look. The use of chiaroscuro creates depth and dimension in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the cottages and the figure by the river.
Frans de Hulst (1610–1661) was an artist, born in Haarlem.
