Carel Jacobus Behr (1812–1895) was a Dutch painter, watercolorist, and draftsman known for his detailed cityscapes and genre scenes. Born and based in The Hague, he studied under Bartholomeus Johannes van Hove and developed a refined architectural style characterized by meticulous urban views often populated with small figures. He sometimes collaborated with fellow artist Johannes Bosboom, with whom he occasionally co-signed works. In 1836, Behr was commissioned by the municipal government of The Hague to paint the town hall, a piece that received high praise at the time. He joined the Royal Academy in Amsterdam in 1837 and exhibited his work in major Dutch cities including The Hague and Rotterdam. Behr’s artworks remain in demand among collectors and frequently appear in public collections and auctions.
