Gezicht op Bonn en het Siebengebirge c. 1860 - 1865

This pencil sketch by Dutch artist Maria Vos depicts the city of Bonn and the Siebengebirge mountain range in Germany. The delicate lines and light shading of the artwork create a sense of atmosphere and place. It’s a quick but expressive rendering of the scene, showcasing Vos’ skill as a landscape artist. The sketch is thought to have been made during her travels in the mid-19th century and is a testament to Vos’ artistic sensibilities and her talent for capturing the essence of a place. The sketch is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
