Schetsblad met straattypen 1848 - 1927

"Schetsblad met straattypen" (1848 - 1927) is a pencil sketch by August Allebé. It depicts a group of street types, a common subject for the Dutch artist. The sketch shows six figures, some in detailed line work and others barely indicated. The work is characterized by Allebé's signature loose and gestural style, capturing the energy and movement of his subjects. The sketch, currently in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Allebé's keen observation of everyday life and his ability to translate it into art through quick, expressive lines.
