De Winter 1872

"De Winter," created in 1872 by Charles Rochussen, is a delicate drawing depicting a wintry scene. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Rochussen's mastery of detail in capturing the cold, grey atmosphere. The composition features a group of figures, including a woman with a basket and two children, standing by a wooden fence while a dog rests in the snow. The soft brushstrokes and subdued palette of brown and grey hues evoke a sense of quiet contemplation in this wintery setting. The artwork's title, "De Winter," reflects the theme of the piece and serves as a reminder of Rochussen's talent in capturing the essence of nature's seasonal changes.
