About the piece
Painted by Hendrik Keun in 1773, this oil on panel captures a vivid slice of life at Amsterdam's Houtmarkt. The composition masterfully balances the organic forms of towering trees with the structured beauty of Dutch architecture and the tranquil reflections of the canal, offering a window into the city's Golden Age legacy.
