About the piece

Created in 1806 by Jean François Valois, this oil-on-panel painting captures the Kalvermarkt in The Hague with refined architectural detail. The scene is characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age tradition, featuring a quiet canal spanned by a humpback stone bridge, with figures and a horse-drawn cart adding a sense of peaceful narrative to the historic urban landscape.
