Amsterdam is a 1923 watercolor by J. Frederick Wilson, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a row of old European buildings by a canal. The middle building has a steep roof, tall windows with blue panes, and a sign that reads *"De Kost Ganx Yorck"* in Dutch. A horse-drawn tram sits on tracks near the water, with a few people walking along the sidewalk. The artist used soft, muted colors and loose brushstrokes to capture the scene. The buildings look weathered, and the light is gentle, almost like late afternoon. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
