Title

The Arrival of Grandfather and Grandmother

Artist

Anton Heinrich Dieffenbach

Physical Description

A painting of a rural, rather secluded homestead. The property is surrounded by woods. There is a woman who is pulling water from a well and child awaiting the arrival of her grandparents. The elder couple has just arrived onto the property of their family, still standing at the threshold of the forest path and the grounds of the home, and are greeted by a small dog. To the right is a simple barn with a thatched roof where a horse and presumably other animals are kept. The yard is full of activity - a group of chicken and a rooster pick at food from the ground while nearby a chicken looks after a group of chicks. To the right of the scene, between the edge of the house and the well are a few duks looking around.

View of a River Town with a Bridge

Artist

Jan van Goyen

Physical Description

This small sketch presents a view along a waterway that passes beneath a double-arched bridge. The triangular sail of a small boat is visible just before the bridge, moored to the quai next to some sheds. A tall church with a central steeple rises on the right bank in the foreground, and two other tall buildings punctuate the middle ground and distance. The chimneys and rooflines of humbler dwellings appear on the left bank. Despite the urban setting, only a few figures may be glimpsed, including a man crossing the bridge on horseback.
