Doortje en gezelschap steken een brug over before 1940

"Doortje en gezelschap steken een brug over" (Doortje and company cross a bridge) is a pen and ink drawing created by Dutch artist Rein van Looy before 1940. The drawing features a fantastical scene, populated with figures crossing a bridge and being shadowed by large trees. The artist’s signature, “Rein van Looy 1939”, can be seen in the bottom left corner of the drawing. The scene’s light, dark, and contrasting tones create a sense of depth and drama. The work is an excellent example of van Looy’s illustrative work in black and white.
