Leendert Springer Jr. has had many pieces come up for auction over the last twenty years and is a desired classical Dutch artist.

This is a wonderful traditional scene of a mid 19th century Dutch home during the beautiful summer time. The composition is tactfully done with the house in the foreground with earthy tones contrasting with the bright white and blue cloudy background. In front of the house their is a mother with her two children who are fishing in the small pond in front of their home. Their is such wonderful detail in this oil painting on wood panel and its obvious why Springer Jr. is enjoyed by so many people. It is a relaxing painting and almost welcoming into a calm and worry free world. 

This painting does has damage around the border where the frame rubbed causing paint loss. The edge of the board has small scratches, knicks, and or paint loss which can be seen in the photos. It could also use a good cleaning to remove surface dirt and grime that has accumulated on it over the last 150 years.
