EDITORS COMMENTS
River Scene [or On the Scheldt at Antwerp], c. 1836 (w/c) captures the serene beauty of a Belgian riverscape in the 19th century. Painted by William Simson, this exquisite watercolor print measures 22.9x31.4 cm and is housed in The McManus museum in Dundee, UK. In this artwork, Simson skillfully depicts a tranquil river scene with boats gently gliding along the rippled waters of the River Scheldt. A tugboat can be seen leading a small fleet of fishing vessels as they navigate through the calm currents. The painting exudes a sense of peace and serenity, with its flat horizon and subtle ripples on the water's surface adding to its overall tranquility. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of each boat, capturing their unique characteristics and creating a lifelike representation. Simson's work transports viewers back to an era when river transport played a vital role in daily life. It offers us a glimpse into Belgium's rich maritime history while showcasing Scottish artistic talent from that period. This remarkable piece from The Orchar Collection serves as a testament to Simson's mastery of watercolor technique and his ability to capture both natural landscapes and human activity with equal finesse.
