Studie van een huis van baksteen c. 1779 - 1858

Hendrik van der Burgh, a Dutch painter born in 1769, created this watercolor study titled “Studie van een huis van baksteen” around the late 18th or early 19th century. The painting, measuring 285 mm in height and 271 mm in width, depicts a simple brick house with a red tile roof, partially obscured by lush greenery and a clear blue sky. It is a characteristic example of Van der Burgh's work, which often focused on capturing the architecture and natural beauty of his surroundings. This study, a preparatory work for a larger painting, showcases his meticulous attention to detail and his adept use of watercolor.
