Early 20th Century Dutch Landscape Oil Painting, Dated 1911

Atmospheric oil painting on panel or canvas (back covered) depicting a tranquil waterside landscape with farmhouse or mill house, red tiled roof, green door, wooden bridge, and reflective water surrounded by trees.

The painting is presented in a dark stained wooden frame, likely mid-20th century, well suited to the artwork.

This charming landscape shows a peaceful rural setting with a farmhouse or mill building beside a calm waterway. The composition includes a small bridge and soft reflections in the water, creating depth and serenity.

The brushwork is visible and slightly impasto, suggesting an impressionistic influence. The color palette is natural and balanced, with warm roof tones contrasting against greens and muted sky tones.

On the reverse, a handwritten pencil inscription reads:

“Scheveningen – April 1911”

This likely indicates location and date rather than a confirmed artist’s signature.

Dating

Circa 1900–1925
The inscription suggests April 1911, consistent with the painting’s style and materials.
