Lekpoort te Vianen 1849 - 1895

"Lekpoort te Vianen" is a pencil sketch by Willem Koekkoek, a Dutch landscape painter, and is a part of the Rijksmuseum collection. The sketch depicts a view of the Lekpoort gate in Vianen, a town in the Netherlands. The perspective of the drawing is interesting as it is from a bird's eye view, looking down on the rooftops of the town and the Lekpoort gate. This is a typical sketch that Koekkoek made while traveling and observing the landscapes around him. The delicate lines of the drawing showcase his talent for capturing the details of architecture and the subtle nuances of light and shadow.
