About the piece
Created around 1895, this oil painting by Willem Maris is a masterful example of the Hague School's atmospheric realism. Maris captures the soft, diffused light of the Dutch countryside, using loose brushwork to render the damp meadow and the silver-grey sky with a sense of quietude and natural harmony.
