Architectuurstudie c. 1887 - 1888

"Architectuurstudie" is a charcoal drawing on paper by Dutch artist Willem Witsen, created sometime between 1887 and 1888. It depicts a simple geometric form, possibly a roof or a bridge, in light strokes. The drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum, and reflects Witsen's interest in the interplay of form and space, characteristic of his style. The faintness of the lines suggests a quick sketch, capturing a fleeting visual idea, typical of the artist's approach.
