Canal boat

Straten, Gebr. van, c. 1885 - c. 1891

Most 19th-century miniatures are reinterpretations of older types. The people on this small boat and the rider are wearing 18th-century clothing, and the vessel’s decoration also harks back to earlier examples. The boat’s aerodynamic forms and large windows are, however, characteristic of a type first built only in the 1840s.
