Bij de Koepoort te Delft 1819

Johannes Jelgerhuis's 1819 watercolor, "Bij de Koepoort te Delft," captures a quiet street scene in the Dutch city of Delft. The artwork depicts a row of traditional brick houses, each with its own unique character, along a cobbled street. A solitary figure walks by a lamppost, adding a sense of stillness to the composition. The careful attention to detail and the use of muted colors create a sense of realism, making this a poignant snapshot of everyday life in 19th-century Delft. The artwork is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, where it continues to fascinate art lovers with its charm and historical significance.
