About the piece

Created in 1699 by Emanuel Murant, this oil-on-panel work provides an atmospheric view of the Westersingel in Leeuwarden. The painting reflects the meticulous Dutch tradition of the late 17th century, featuring finely detailed brickwork, lush greenery, and a masterfully rendered sky that casts a soft, even light over the water.
