  1. I did not even have to see the painter or the title to know this was Dutch! I would recognize that style and the kind of houses anywhere :-)

    But absolutely lovely and fitting for September. (and I love the quote as well!)
    Kind regards,

  5. Such a beautiful painting! I definitely had a hunch it was Dutch (but I'm not sure why? the lighting? the scene?).

  6. It is beautiful, but is it terrible I wish she had a more comfortable chair?
