This Dutch river scene is so large, vibrant and eye-catching that it caught my eye immediately in a room full of paintings. As you can see, I photographed it outside my studio so the colors are accurate. There's a village scattered along the edge of either a broad river or small lake, and we can see a few cottages, a church and a windmill. I lived in Holland for a year (the Netherlands, as it's now called) and there are still scenes like this! Some villagers are going about their daily tasks here; a woman in traditional garb is washing clothes at the water's edge, and a group of men are working on a boat. Painting is a sizable 39" x 55" framed, canvas measures 31" x 47". Normal craquelure for its age. Comes in a fine antique gilded wood frame.
