Gezicht op een pad c. 1901 - 1927

"Gezicht op een pad" (View of a Path), a pastel drawing by Dutch artist Johan Antonie de Jonge (1864-1927), offers a glimpse into a verdant landscape. Created between 1901 and 1927, the work showcases de Jonge's talent for capturing the subtle nuances of nature. With delicate strokes, de Jonge evokes the soft light filtering through the trees, casting long shadows on the grassy path. The muted tones of the pastel create a tranquil atmosphere, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the peaceful scene. This work exemplifies the Impressionist tendencies that were popular in de Jonge's time.
