Description: High mass at a fishing village on the Zuyder Zee, Holland (1876), by George Clausen
Visual description: A realistic oil painting by George Clausen titled “High Mass at a Fishing Village on the Zuyder Zee, Holland.” The scene depicts the exterior of a red brick church where the congregation has overflowed onto the cobblestone street. Women and children, dressed in traditional Dutch attire featuring white bonnets and wooden clogs, kneel in devout prayer. A young girl in the foreground gazes thoughtfully to the side. In the background, a couple in local dress stands near trees. The painting captures the piety and rustic simplicity of a 19th-century Dutch fishing community.
