This watercolor captures the Hofvijver in The Hague, where the Mauritshuis and Het Torentje stand bathed in warm sunlight. The golden glow enhances the elegant 17th-century facade of the Mauritshuis, home to masterpieces by Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Fabritius.
To the left, Het Torentje, a small octagonal tower dating back to the 15th century, reflects in the water. Originally part of the medieval Binnenhof complex, it now serves as the office of the Dutch Prime Minister, making it one of the most historic government buildings in the Netherlands. This painting blends architecture, history, and light, capturing the heart of Dutch political and artistic heritage.
