"Bomen" is a watercolor painting created by Dutch artist Sientje Mesdag-van Houten between 1844 and 1909. This intimate and small-scale artwork, measuring 195 mm in height and 277 mm in width, captures the essence of a woodland scene. The painting showcases Mesdag-van Houten's delicate touch and her skill in capturing the subtle nuances of light and shadow, evident in the way she renders the tree trunks and the surrounding foliage.
