Schetsboek met 23 bladen 1858 - 1860

"Schetsboek met 23 bladen" is a sketchbook by Willem de Famars Testas, created between 1858 and 1860. This small-format sketchbook, measuring 186 mm by 274 mm, is a testament to the artist's practice and his interest in capturing fleeting observations. While the cover itself is not an artwork, it serves as a protective shell for the sketches within. Its worn and faded brown paper, trimmed with black, suggests the book's well-used nature, hinting at the creative energy contained within its pages.
