Studies van huizen in de Vinkenbuurt, Amsterdam 1886

"Studies van huizen in de Vinkenbuurt, Amsterdam" is a watercolor drawing created in 1886 by Dutch artist Jan H.L. Hanau. The artwork captures a scene of everyday life in the Vinkenbuurt neighborhood of Amsterdam, showcasing a cluster of houses and outbuildings. The loose, gestural style of the drawing suggests a quick sketch made on location, perhaps during a brief moment of observation. Hanau’s keen attention to detail is evident in the depiction of architectural features, and the overall composition of the piece reflects his interest in capturing the essence of the city's vernacular architecture.
