European Art and Old Masters

Note A contemporary of Cornelis Springer and student of Cornelis de Kruyff and Hendrik Gerrit ten Cate, Adrianus Eversen was one of the leading Dutch townscape painters of the 19th century. His architectural views, often imaginary, are records of everyday life in Holland, and are often populated by local townspeople. His paintings are rendered with great optical fidelity and perspective, and as in the present painting, emphasize the effects of sunlight. We wish to thank the Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie, also known as R.K.D, for confirming the authenticity of the present work.
