Bruid 1824 - 1850

"Bruid" (Bride) is a watercolor on paper by Dutch artist Huib van Hove Bz, created between 1824 and 1850. The artwork depicts a woman in a white wedding dress, standing against a simple, pale background. The artist skillfully captures the delicate details of her dress and veil, highlighting the symbolism of purity and innocence associated with marriage. This work is a fine example of the Romantic style, often characterized by emotional expression and emphasis on individual experience, as seen in the bride’s delicate and graceful form. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
