Gezicht in een tuin met op de voorgrond een openstaande deur 1715 - 1798

This pencil sketch by Dutch artist Dionys van Nijmegen, dated between 1715 and 1798, depicts a garden scene. The drawing is characterized by its loose, gestural lines and sketchy style, which captures the essence of the subject matter without striving for photorealistic detail. The artist's focus on the open doorway, partially obscured by the leafy branch of a tree, creates a sense of mystery and intrigue. The drawing's composition and subject matter suggest a scene from a larger narrative or a preliminary study for a more elaborate work. The artist's choice of a simple pencil technique contributes to the drawing's informal and intimate quality.
