Additional Details

This watercolor likely depicts a view of the Schie river from the artist's home in Overschie, a suburb northwest of Rotterdam where he stayed with his niece. At the time of this painting, Jongkind had already been living in France for the past 20 years, yet he would often revisit and repaint these earlier Dutch scenes from memory. Recurring use of quintessential Dutch motifs, the sailboat and windmill, appear consistently throughout his watercolor works well into the final years of his life.
