The Bridge, Jacob Maris, c. 1879

oil on canvas, h 42cm × w 73.5cm × d 11cm More details

Jacob Maris painted this bridge in The Hague, his city of residence. The farmer’s wife carrying two pails of milk with a yoke and the farmer in the sand barge attest to just how rural The Hague was at the time. A sketch of the same motif is also on display in this gallery. Maris captured the scene with powerful strokes. He made the sketch out of doors, and the worked-up painting in his studio.
