# The Meuse Near Dordrecht

By [Maximilien Luce](<https://art.jpamorgan.com/artists/maximilien-luce.md>), 1908.

Boats and Dutch waterways fill a broad, high-horizoned composition inspired by Luce's 1907 journey to the Netherlands and completed in his Paris studio. The work balances travel observation with deliberate construction.
