Gevel van een begroeid huis 1645 - 1655

Adriaen van Ostade's "Gevel van een begroeid huis" is a small, detailed drawing of a house facade covered in foliage. Dated between 1645-1655, the work showcases the artist's mastery of depicting ordinary scenes with meticulous detail. The drawing's focus on the house's exterior, including a small doorway, windows and a balcony, is characteristic of van Ostade's genre of "vedute", a style that highlights the beauty of everyday urban and rural landscapes. This drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
