About the piece
Painted in 1756 by Paulus Constantijn la Fargue, this detailed oil on panel depicts the docking basin in the barge canal at Leidschendam. The scene is rich with historical atmosphere, from the meticulously rendered figures along the quay to the classic Dutch brickwork and the prominent domed church under a soft, expansive sky.
