The Valkhof in Nijmegen

The Valkhof in Nijmegen shows a broad river with a fortified town along the right bank, anchored by a tall square tower. In the foreground left, a long boat crowded with figures moves across the water, while smaller vessels and sails dot the river further back. The scene is rendered in a restrained palette of earthy browns, ochres, and pale blues, with a vast cloud-filled sky that gives the composition a calm, atmospheric quality.
