About the piece

Painted around 1890 by Julius van de Sande Bakhuyzen, this work depicts a traditional thatched barn in the Drenthe region. A prominent member of the Hague School, Bakhuyzen used a rich, earthy palette and expressive brushwork to evoke the serene and moody atmosphere of rural Dutch life.
