Johannes Hendrik Weissenbruch DUTCH: 1824-1903
A HEATH IN HOLLAND
Water Color
Height, 11 inches; length, 19 inches
A great building, roughly thatched, with a door and window in its gable end, and its ridge irregular and broken, stands in an open waste. Four slender trees grow near the building, and are the only ones which break the irregular surface of the great pasture. Three cows are wandering across the field toward the building, apparently seeking shelter for the night. A few birds flutter high in the sky above, and the light of the setting sun is concentrated near the horizon and behind the rude structure.
Signed at the lower left, J. H. Weissenbruch.
