拍品專文

The present lot is a beautiful example of Eversen's mature painterly style with its warm light, stunningly realistic representation of architecture and lively depiction of figures. These elements are all brought together in a balanced composition depicting the picturesque Dutch town of Haarlem. The spatial order guides the spectator's eye from the figures in the immediate foreground, to the facade of an unknown building on the right, through the street, finishing at the beautifully executed Waalse Kerk.

The present lot will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné on the artist by Pieter Overduin, cat.no. 56-10.
