De Oude Waal te Amsterdam 1870 - 1923

"De Oude Waal te Amsterdam" is a 19th century drawing by Willem Witsen, a Dutch artist known for his depictions of daily life and urban landscapes. This particular work captures a quiet moment along the Oude Waal canal in Amsterdam. The composition is dominated by the prow of a docked boat, with the reflection of its hull and the surrounding canal taking center stage. The trees lining the canal and the buildings in the distance add depth and context to the scene. The simple yet detailed lines of the drawing evoke the atmosphere of a Dutch cityscape, capturing the essence of Amsterdam's canals.
