EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor painting by Matthijs Maris, titled "Cornelis de Wit and his Family," showcases a moment of relaxation and bonding between the Dutch politician and his loved ones in the late 19th century. The scene takes place outside their grand, historic house, with a beautiful fountain gracing the front yard. Cornelis de Wit, dressed in formal attire, sits on a bench, engrossed in a game or perhaps deep in thought, while his wife and their two children play nearby. The daughter, dressed in a flowing, colorful dress, reaches out to take a drink from the fountain, while her brother, in shorts and a shirt, watches on. The father watches over them protectively, his hand resting on a walking stick. Maris expertly captures the essence of family life, with the warmth of the sun filtering through the trees and the tranquility of the scene inviting the viewer in. The painting is a testament to the importance of health and hygiene, with the family enjoying the fresh water from the fountain. The Hague School influence is evident in the attention to detail in the buildings and the natural surroundings. This beautiful watercolor painting is a treasure of Dutch heritage art and a reminder of the simple joys of family life in the late 19th century.
