Houten huizen aan een vaart 1778

A. Loosjes' "Houten huizen aan een vaart," a simple pencil sketch depicting a canal and wooden houses, dates back to 1778. The work captures a common Dutch scene and offers a glimpse into the architecture and daily life of the era. The artist's use of subtle shading creates a sense of depth, while the detail of the individual buildings and the figure fishing on the canal further bring the scene to life. This is a prime example of landscape drawing, capturing the daily life of a Dutch town.
