Huis te Bentheim 1807 - 1861

This small-scale, 19th-century watercolor drawing by Cornelis Steffelaar depicts "Huis te Bentheim" (House in Bentheim). This rural landscape painting shows a simple structure, likely a farm, partially obscured by a leafy tree. The artist utilized subtle shades of brown to capture the light filtering through the foliage and illuminating the building. Steffelaar, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes, captured the peaceful atmosphere of the countryside in this charming piece.
