Bosboom (1817-1891) was a Dutch painter working in The Hague who was known for his street scenes and church interiors in the style of Golden Age artists such as Pieter Saendredam. His works are now in the collections of Boijmans in Rotterdam and the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. He is considered an early member of the "Haagse School".
