J. H. Wijsmuller DUTCH: 1855-
THE STREET MARKET
Height, 17 inches; width, 12½ inches
In a small square in a large Dutch town the usual market is being held, and crowds of people are assembled around the booths in the shadow of the houses in a narrow street, which, on the left, extends away in perspective past the corner of a large brick church which raises a lofty cupola above a steep roof against the sky. The sunlight falls upon the scene from the left, accentuating the façades and gables of the houses along the street and the front of a small public building which stands under the very eaves of the church, overhung by a clump of leafless trees.
Signed at the lower right, J. H. Wijsmuller.
