Gezelschap van dames en heren in een door de maan beschenen hof met rozenstruiken 1847

Charles Rochussen's 1847 watercolor, "Gezelschap van dames en heren in een door de maan beschenen hof met rozenstruiken," depicts a group of elegantly dressed men and women in a moonlit garden setting. The soft, hazy atmosphere and the subtle details of the figures’ costumes are rendered in a romantic style reminiscent of the Dutch Golden Age. This work is a testament to Rochussen's mastery of watercolor, showcasing his ability to capture the ephemeral beauty of a moonlit night with delicate brushstrokes. The Rijksmuseum houses this small-scale artwork, measuring just 140 mm by 204 mm.
