Perspectiefoefening 1816 - 1852

"Perspectiefoefening" (Perspective Exercise), an 1816-1852 drawing by Jonkvrouw Elisabeth Kemper, demonstrates the artist's mastery of perspective. This piece exemplifies the 19th-century interest in academic drawing, focusing on precise linear construction and the depiction of three-dimensional space. The careful use of lines and dotted lines creates a sense of depth and volume, capturing the illusion of a room through the intersection of horizontal and vertical planes. This artwork is a testament to Kemper's dedication to her craft and offers a glimpse into the artistic practices of the time.
