About the piece

This 1775 oil on panel by Paulus Constantijn la Fargue offers a rare glimpse into the private life of The Hague. The painting masterfully balances the architectural detail of the surrounding townhouses with the organic textures of the formal garden, complete with a rococo fountain, strutting pigeons, and quiet human interaction.
