Description: | The artist has depicted a residential area around a quiet canal, cast in evening shadow. A woman washes clothes in the canal on a wharf outside her house; two men prepare to push off in a small boat tied up opposite. Over the shadowy roofs rises a view of a church spire bathed in golden light. The paint is thickly applied, but the detail is picked out finely; the artist's attention to the smallest elements can be seen in his depiction of the brick pattern work in the walls of the houses. The city is probably Amsterdam; further research may identify the location. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Veltman, Jean Adrian (Dutch? artist, 1805-1855) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9176... | Go to resource |
