About the piece

Painted in 1847 by Jan August Hendrik Leys, this oil study explores the texture and weight of Flemish architecture. The scene depicts the inner courtyard of the Antwerp Town Hall, focusing on the rhythmic arrangement of leaded windows and heavy stone arches bathed in a warm, muted light that highlights the masonry's tactile quality.
