Ontwerp voor de omslag van In de Kalverstraat, van Johannes ter Gouw, 1866 c. 1861 - 1866

This watercolor by Johan Coenraad Leich, created between 1861 and 1866, is a design for the cover of the book *In de Kalverstraat* by Johannes ter Gouw. The design depicts a lively street scene with a crowd of people, some holding torches and drums, and a banner with a teapot. The scene is likely set in a Dutch city and offers a glimpse into the daily life and culture of the time. The watercolor's lively and dynamic composition draws the viewer into the heart of the bustling street. Leich's work exemplifies his skill in capturing the essence of a moment with a sense of realism.
