About the piece
Created in 1882, this watercolor by Jacob Maris is a definitive example of the Hague School’s atmospheric style. The composition is dominated by a vast, silver-grey sky that pushes the city skyline and harbor low toward the horizon, masterfully capturing the diffused light and damp air characteristic of the Netherlands coast.
