You see a riverbank at dusk: farmers, a fancy couple on horses, and a ferryman waiting with his boat. A broken bridge looms in the distance. The artist turned a simple landscape into a little story. The woman on the gray horse points at the broken bridge—no other way across. The light is warm and golden, the hills behind fade into blue haze. Look up more paintings of Dutch river scenes at the Rijksmuseum.
