About the piece

Created around 1880 by Paul Joseph Constantin Gabriël, this oil study exemplifies the Hague School's focus on atmosphere and light. The work depicts a serene moment in the Dutch polders, where the vast, cloud-filled sky dominates the composition, reflecting softly in the still waters of a canal where a figure tends to his boat.
