Stadsgezicht 1860 - 1905

Ferdinand Carl Sierich's "Stadsgezicht" (1860-1905) is a Dutch cityscape painting that depicts a canal scene in a small town. The painting features traditional brick houses with gabled roofs and a wooden bridge over a canal. The artist captures the everyday life of the town with figures walking on the cobbled street and a woman doing laundry by the water. The muted tones of the painting create a sense of realism and tranquility. The painting is a classic example of the Dutch genre of cityscape painting, known as stadsgezicht, and highlights the importance of water and urban life in Dutch culture.
