Description

In 2018, the museum had the opportunity to acquire this fine piece of art for the collection. This gouache dates from the first half of the 19^th century. It provides a realistic view of the Middelbuurt of Schokland before the evacuation of the island in 1859.

Very few images of Schokland are known from this period. It is therefore a particularly beautiful addition to the museum.

The maker of this artwork is unknown.
