About the piece

Painted in 1872 by Jacob Maris, a prominent figure of the Hague School, this evocative work depicts the Schreierstoren and the Gelderse Kade in Amsterdam. The composition is defined by its muted, tonal palette and expressive brushwork, perfectly capturing the damp, atmospheric light of the Netherlands.
