Gezicht in tuin 1872 - 1950

"Gezicht in tuin" (View in the Garden) is a watercolor painting by Dutch artist Barbara Elisabeth van Houten, created between 1872 and 1950. The work depicts a verdant garden scene, with a dense tangle of foliage obscuring the view behind. The artist's signature appears in the lower right corner, adding a personal touch to the tranquil nature-inspired composition. Van Houten's use of light washes of green and grey creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, inviting viewers to step into the serene garden. The piece exemplifies Van Houten's mastery of watercolor technique and her appreciation for the beauty of the natural world.
