About the artwork

On the winding road towards the locks of Aduarderzijl, this characteristic Waarhuis - the former lockkeeper's house - stands as a silent witness to water management in the Groningen landscape. Surrounded by a white wooden fence, young trees and grassy meadows, it forms a picturesque scene. Above the scene float imposing Dutch clouds, typical of the open north.

This picture captures the rural tranquillity, history and vastness of this unique part of the Netherlands. A beautiful image for lovers of the countryside, authentic architecture and classic Dutch skies.
