About the painting
Jacob Maris painted this bridge in The Hague, his city of residence. The farmer’s wife carrying two pails of milk with a yoke and the farmer in the sand barge attest to just how rural The Hague was at the time. A sketch of the same motif is also on display in this gallery. Maris captured the scene with powerful strokes. He made the sketch out of doors, and the worked-up painting in his studio.
