Fredericus Jacobus du Chattel DUTCH: 1856-
CANAL IN HOLLAND
Water Color
Height, 29 inches; width, 19½ inches
A narrow canal extends in rapidly diminishing perspective from the foreground to the middle distance, where it is bounded by a meadow. The low banks of the canal are fringed with water-weeds, and on the left tall trees grow on either side of a country road. The calm waters, along which two swallows skim in rapid flight, reflect the luminous tones of the quiet evening sky, together with the forms of the lofty trees that grow along the bank.
Signed at the lower left, Fred. J. du Chattel.
