Willem Roelofs DUTCH: 1822-1897
A FARM IN HOLLAND
Height, 18½ inches; length, 29 inches
In the foreground a narrow foot-bridge spans a canal between two wooden piers, and near it stands a thatched hovel partly surrounded by low trees. Scattered over the meadow on the far side of the canal are several peasant women, engaged in cultivating the land, and farther away a line of low trees, with a single farm building, forms the horizon. The sky is partly covered by thin drifting clouds, touched here and there by the sunlight.
Signed at the lower left, W. Roelofs.
Collection of the late George I. Seney, New York, 1894.
