    I really can't see this as 19th century.

    No, of course it isn't. The old sampler was obviously framed at a later date. Telephones weren't even introduced in the Netherlands until 1877.

    The style of your painting is typical of the second half of the 20th century.
    The only relation between your painting and the sampler is that they were both framed by the same framer.
    Framer "Weissenbruch" must have framed hundreds, if not thousands of totally unrelated pieces, old and new. The only relation between all those pieces is that they found their way to The Hague and were framed in the 20th century by "Kunsthandel Weissenbruch".

    Being Dutch you know that 'kunsthandel' is often a rather ambitious name for a frame shop that also sells factory paintings and/or works by lesser known artists. "Weissenbruch" wouldn't have been an upmarket art gallery.
    The works that were framed there could have been of any quality, since they were brought in by customers. Your painting is a very nice mid 20th century painting, and it deserves to be appreciated as such.

    Maybe the following makes sense to you:
    The "Weissenbruch" shop was named after the street it was in, the Weissenbruchstraat.
    The Weissenbruchstraat was named after Jan Hendrik Weissenbruch, one of the most important painters of the Haagse School (The Hague School). Weissenbruch died in 1903, and streets are typically named after famous people after they pass away (except for royals).
    So presumably the Weissenbruchstraat was named after 1903. I don't know when the frame shop opened, but it would have been even later.
    I also don't know when it closed, but it was clearly still around in 1959.

    I just found that the neighbourhood the Weissenbruchstraat is in, was developed between 1915 and 1959.
