Theatre Scene in a City Garden 1753 - 1811

"Theatre Scene in a City Garden" is an 18th century watercolor by Dutch artist Barend Hendrik Thier (1743-1811). The artwork depicts a theatrical garden setting, featuring a central fountain adorned with a globe and surmounted by a blue canopy. The scene is framed by trees and statues, and three figures are depicted in the background. Thier was known for his detailed depictions of gardens and theatrical settings, and this work is characteristic of his style. The precise location of the garden is unknown, but it may have been inspired by the artist's own garden in Amsterdam.
