Buitenhuizen 1870 - 1931

"Buitenhuizen" is a charcoal drawing by Willem Bastiaan Tholen, created between 1870 and 1931. The drawing depicts a rural scene with two figures seated in the foreground, seemingly conversing. The figures are dwarfed by the surrounding buildings and trees, which are depicted with a loose, expressive style that is characteristic of Tholen's work. The drawing is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. This piece showcases Tholen's talent for capturing the quiet beauty of the Dutch countryside through minimalist yet detailed strokes.
