Gezicht op de Groote Koninklijke Bazar in Den Haag 1827 - 1873

"Gezicht op de Groote Koninklijke Bazar in Den Haag", an 1827 lithograph by Hendrik Wilhelmus Last, depicts a bustling street scene in The Hague, Netherlands. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Last's meticulous attention to detail as he captures the architectural grandeur of the Royal Bazaar, the diverse pedestrian traffic, and the surrounding greenery. This lithograph offers a valuable glimpse into 19th-century Dutch urban life, with its lively mix of individuals and carriages navigating the cobblestone streets. The artist's use of line and shading brings the scene to life, and the inscription "Op de Scheveningsche Weg" provides additional context for the viewer, indicating the location of the bazaar on a major road connecting The Hague to the seaside resort town of Scheveningen.
