Huis aan het water 1890 - 1946

"Huis aan het water" (House by the Water), a delicate drawing on paper by Cornelis Vreedenburgh, captures a simple yet evocative scene. The artist, known for his expressive style and depictions of Dutch landscapes, utilizes minimalist lines to suggest a house on a canal. The minimalist approach allows the viewer to fill in the details, creating a sense of quiet contemplation. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Vreedenburgh's talent for capturing the essence of everyday life with subtle brushstrokes and an appreciation for the beauty of the ordinary.
