Figuur in een lege hoge ruimte 1852 - 1890

"Figuur in een lege hoge ruimte" (Figure in an Empty High Space) is an etching by Dutch artist Willem (II) Linnig. This piece, created between 1852 and 1890, showcases Linnig's skill in capturing the somber atmosphere of an empty, architectural space. The artwork depicts a single figure standing in the shadow of a large pillar in a ruined building, a distant view of the city visible beyond. This etching is a poignant example of Linnig's mastery of light and shadow, highlighting the isolation of the figure within the vast emptiness. The artwork is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
