Daken met schoorstenen 1822 - 1893

"Daken met schoorstenen" (Roofs with Chimneys) is a watercolor sketch by Dutch artist Willem (II) Troost, created between 1822 and 1893. The sketch, which is part of Troost's sketchbook now held at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a view of a building, possibly a house, with a few visible chimneys. The drawing is likely a study for a larger painting, showing Troost's interest in the details of architecture and the urban landscape. Troost was known for his landscapes and cityscapes, often capturing the beauty of everyday life in the Netherlands. The sketch showcases his sensitive use of watercolor and his eye for capturing the essence of a scene.
