"Huis met rieten dak te Gorontalo" is a watercolor painting by Jannes Theodorus Bik, a Dutch artist born in 1796. Created in 1821, the artwork depicts a traditional house with a thatched roof in Gorontalo, Indonesia. The house is elevated on stilts, a common architectural feature in areas prone to flooding. The painting is a testament to Bik's keen eye for detail and his interest in documenting the architecture and landscapes of the Dutch East Indies.
