View of a broad River

Rembrandt van Rijn (attributed to) 1606 - 1669

Summary

A reproduction produced by the Vasari Society of a drawing by Rembrandt. It is a landscape with land in the foreground and to the left and an expanse of water beyond. There is a grassy back to the left with bits of fence in the foreground. Three sailing boats are visible on the water, and beyond them on the horizon is the suggestion of a town.
