About this work

This watercolor shows a quiet harbor with two small boats tied up. Behind them, a big church with a tall tower and arched windows stands under a pale sky. Trees with thick green leaves lean over the water, and a few people walk along the dock. The church looks like an old Dutch building, with its simple brick walls and pointed roof. The artist used soft watercolor washes to keep the scene light and airy. Next, check out the grote kerk to see how this church compares to others like it.
