"Tolbrug Bij Kortenhoef: A Carriage Approaching A Drawbridge" is a notable painting by the Dutch artist Paul Joseph Constantine Gabriel (1828–1903), who was an influential figure in the Hague School of painting. This work exemplifies Gabriel's fascination with the Dutch countryside and his ability to capture the serene atmosphere of the Netherlands' waterways and flat landscapes. The painting depicts a tranquil scene where a horse-drawn carriage is seen approaching a toll bridge (tolbrug) near Kortenhoef, a village in the province of North Holland.

Gabriel's mastery in rendering light and atmosphere is evident in this piece, where the reflective quality of the water and the subtle interplay of natural light contribute to the overall calmness and realism of the scene. The artist's use of a restrained palette and his focus on the effects of light on the landscape are characteristic of the Hague School, which was greatly influenced by the French Barbizon School and aimed to depict the Dutch landscape in a realistic manner.

"Tolbrug Bij Kortenhoef" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, as it captures a moment in the 19th-century Dutch rural life that was undergoing transformation due to industrialization and urbanization. Gabriel's work is a testament to the enduring beauty of the Netherlands' waterways and the traditional way of life that was prevalent at the time.

This painting is a fine example of Gabriel's contribution to Dutch landscape painting and his role in the development of the Hague School. It continues to be appreciated by art historians and enthusiasts for its technical skill and its evocative portrayal of the Dutch countryside.
