Painting by Oene Romkes de Jongh (1812-1896). A prolific painter of town scenes in Amsterdam, most often without the specific location included in the title of the work. His many works are curiously monochromatic: brownish buildings against a drab sky. Somehow they did not possess the charm and vitality for him that they did for the great originators of the Dutch tradition of painting cityscapes.
