Straatgezicht 1782 - 1837

"Straatgezicht" (Street View) is a pen and ink drawing by Pieter Bartholomeusz Barbiers, a Dutch artist known for his picturesque depictions of Dutch streets. Created between 1782 and 1837, the drawing captures a narrow, cobblestoned alley, lined with traditional brick houses. Barbiers' use of hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the intricate details of the buildings and the play of light and shadow within the alley. This small but evocative artwork provides a glimpse into the daily life of a Dutch town, showcasing the charming and often overlooked beauty of ordinary urban spaces.
