Hangende jas in een donker interieur 1876 - 1924

"Hangende jas in een donker interieur," meaning "Hanging coat in a dark interior," is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, known for his detailed renderings of everyday objects. This piece, created between 1876 and 1924, depicts a coat hanging in a dimly lit space, emphasizing the texture and form of the garment through subtle shading. Dijsselhof's mastery of charcoal is evident in the play of light and shadow, capturing the soft folds of the coat's fabric in stark contrast to the shadowy backdrop. This drawing is a prime example of Dijsselhof's artistic style, showcasing his talent for capturing the quiet beauty of commonplace objects. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is a testament to the artist's skill in conveying atmosphere through minimalist composition.
