Italiaanse binnenplaats met een bakkerij 1644 - 1653

Thomas Wijck, known for his detailed depictions of daily life, captured a glimpse of an Italian courtyard in this pen and brown wash drawing. The scene is set in a shaded arched passageway, possibly a bakery, suggesting a moment of daily activity in the bustling streets of Italy. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, inviting the viewer to imagine the sights and sounds of this busy courtyard. The drawing, dated between 1644-1653, is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
