About the piece

Created around 1895 by Paul Joseph Constantin Gabriël, this oil on canvas is a masterful example of the Hague School's approach to landscape. The work captures a quiet moment in the Dutch countryside, where rustic duck nests rise from the reeds against a wide, luminous sky reflected in the still water.
