Water- of Gevangenpoort te Woudrichem 1838 - 1887

"Water- of Gevangenpoort te Woudrichem" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Frederik Hendrik Weissenbruch. Created between 1838 and 1887, the artwork depicts a scene of a waterfront in Woudrichem, Netherlands. The drawing showcases Weissenbruch's early style and interest in capturing the details of everyday life, focusing on the architectural features of the Gevangenpoort (Prison Gate) and the people walking along the water. The delicate lines and simple composition of the drawing make it a good example of the Realist movement in Dutch art. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this small yet detailed drawing is a valuable addition to the study of Weissenbruch's artistic development.
