About the piece

Painted in 1873 by Hendrik Frans Schaefels, this work captures the quiet dignity of the Old Courtyard of Antwerp Town Hall. The composition emphasizes the textures of weathered stone, arched portals, and leaded glass windows, all bathed in a soft, atmospheric light characteristic of 19th-century realism.
