243. Thomas Raphael Congdon (American, 1859-1917)

A Dutch interior. Watercolor on paper, mounted onto cardboard, signed in the lower right corner, framed under glass in an ornately detailed gilt frame. Image size is 12-1/2" x 18-1/4", with frame overall size is 22" x 28". This complex composition is a bright and cheerful Dutch interior scene with women and a child sewing and one woman reading a newspaper. The light through the pair of windows is skillfully shown as it passes through and reflects off the various fabrics. The accoutrements of the interior are also beautifully rendered, including the reflection in a mirror on the wall to the right of the composition. A windmill can be seen in the distance through the window.
