Landschap met een diagonale steen 1836 - 1912

"Landschap met een diagonale steen" (Landscape with a Diagonal Stone) is a drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Weissenbruch, created sometime between 1836 and 1912. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a typical Dutch landscape, with a large flat stone in the foreground. The stone is positioned diagonally, creating a sense of depth and perspective, a hallmark of Weissenbruch’s artistic style. The background features a distant village and windmills, adding to the idyllic rural charm of the scene. This black and white drawing demonstrates Weissenbruch’s skill at capturing the nuances of light and shadow in a simple yet evocative way.
