Huizen aan het water 1900 - 1931

"Huizen aan het water" (Houses by the Water) is a 1900-1931 lithograph by Dutch artist Jacob Bendien (1890-1933). The artwork depicts a simplified, almost abstract, view of a canal in Amsterdam, characterized by stark, geometric shapes and a muted gray palette. The artist's signature style, characterized by precise lines and a focus on form over detail, creates a sense of quiet contemplation and reinforces the serene atmosphere of the cityscape.
