Dutch river scene with a sailboat flying a flag, a brick church tower with a spire, and red-roofed houses under a pale sky.

The Church of Overschie

A small sailing boat with a Dutch flag on its mast drifts on the river in the foreground, while a brick church tower with a slender spire rises above red-roofed houses and trees. Loose brushwork and a grey-blue sky with scattered clouds give this oil painting a calm, Impressionist summer feel.

Español: La iglesia de Overschie

Un pequeño velero con una bandera neerlandesa en el mástil navega por el río en primer plano, mientras una torre de iglesia de ladrillo con una aguja esbelta se alza sobre casas de tejados rojos y árboles. Pinceladas sueltas y un cielo gris azulado con nubes dispersas dan a esta pintura al óleo un ambiente tranquilo y de verano.

Português: A igreja de Overschie

Um pequeno veleiro com uma bandeira holandesa no mastro desliza pelo rio em primeiro plano, enquanto uma torre de igreja de tijolos com uma flecha esguia se ergue acima de casas de telhado vermelho e árvores. Pinceladas soltas e um céu cinza-azulado com nuvens esparsas dão a esta pintura a óleo um clima calmo de verão.
