About the piece

Painted in 1888, this oil study by Johan Hendrik Weissenbruch offers a glimpse into the lower levels of his own home in The Hague. The work is a masterclass in the Hague School's approach to light, balancing the heavy, earthy shadows of the foreground kitchen with a luminous 'doorkijkje' (view-through) into a brightly lit workspace beyond.
