Huizen te Dongen 1848 - 1907

This watercolor sketch, titled "Huizen te Dongen," was created by Dutch artist August Allebé, known for his landscapes and genre scenes. The artwork captures a simple, everyday scene in Dongen, a village in the Netherlands. The composition focuses on a small courtyard with a thatched-roof structure, suggesting a farm or rural setting. The use of light and shadow, and the loose, gestural brushwork, give the sketch a sense of immediacy and a glimpse into a moment in time, a common characteristic of Allebé's work.
