Twee hekken 1803 - 1877

"Twee hekken" is a drawing by Dutch artist Anthonie Willem Hendrik Nolthenius de Man, created between 1803 and 1877. The drawing depicts two simple wooden fences, one upright and the other fallen to the ground, against a plain background. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate lines and shading used to render the textures of the wood and the surrounding vegetation. This drawing is a fine example of de Man's work, which often focused on simple, everyday subjects found in the Dutch landscape. It is a testament to his skill in capturing the beauty of the commonplace.
