Maastricht before 1931

Etienne Bosch made this drawing of Maastricht using pencil on paper. Just look at that bridge, and the buildings lined up together. I imagine Bosch standing there with his sketchbook, squinting into the distance, the pencil scratching across the page. It's like he's trying to capture a memory, or maybe he's just lost in the moment, letting his hand wander where it wants to go. You can almost feel the breeze coming off the water, and the weight of those buildings on the horizon. Bosch's work is a reminder that art isn't always about grand statements or perfect execution. Sometimes, it's just about paying attention to the world around you, and finding beauty in the everyday. And maybe, just maybe, inspiring someone else to do the same.
