Schetsende tekenaar op de Hoogendijk, buiten de Haarlemmer Poort 1776 - 1822

This detailed pencil drawing, created between 1776 and 1822 by Dutch artist Jan Hulswit, depicts a serene landscape featuring a windmill, a river, and a figure sketching in the foreground. The composition highlights the architectural details of the windmill and the natural beauty of the surrounding environment. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the boats, the wooden fence, and the textures of the terrain. Hulswit’s work often captured the everyday life and landscapes of the Netherlands, and this piece is a testament to his skill in capturing the unique atmosphere of his homeland.
