De herberg Holland op 't Smalst 1772 - 1844

Cornelis Apostool's watercolor painting, "De herberg Holland op 't Smalst," depicts a rural scene with a brick house, a group of sheep, and a small group of people, possibly the family, in front of the house. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Apostool's skill in capturing the peaceful beauty of the Dutch countryside. The detail of the house, the surrounding trees, and the sheep adds realism and tranquility to the piece. This 18th-century depiction of everyday life in the Netherlands is a prime example of the Dutch landscape genre.
