HOFSTRAAT
This painting of the narrow Hofstraat, signed R. Cameron, was purchased from antiquarian bookshop Ex Libris (Kloosterstraat 38 BoZ.)
Most likely the little canvass, it only measures 18 x 30 cm, was produced by Rein Cameron.
Although the street is situated near the Markiezenhof, the most important historic monument in town, its intimate character has hardly changed for centuries.
No great work of art, just a nice picture.
An old view from Hofstraat onto the east square of the former court of the local margraves, which roughly dates from 1480-1520 and was restored in the sixties and seventies. The complex now houses several functions (such as a museum, a library and a restaurant).
