Tour Saint-Jacques te Parijs 1867

This pencil drawing of the Tour Saint-Jacques in Paris, France, was created in 1867 by Dutch artist Maria Vos. The drawing is a realistic depiction of the iconic architectural landmark, showcasing the tower's intricate details and its prominence in the cityscape. The use of shading and subtle lines adds depth to the composition, emphasizing the towering structure against the backdrop of a light grey sky. This work is a testament to Vos's skill in capturing the essence of a place through a simple yet powerful sketch. The drawing is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
