Huizenrij in Amsterdam 1870 - 1923

"Huizenrij in Amsterdam" is a charcoal sketch by Dutch artist Willem Witsen, created between 1870 and 1923. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, the artwork depicts a simple yet evocative scene of a row of houses in Amsterdam. Witsen's signature style, characterized by loose, expressive strokes and a focus on capturing the essence of his subjects, is evident in this work. The sketch's immediacy and directness offer a glimpse into the everyday life of Amsterdam and its architecture.
