Groep mensen rond een boom, onder het Alziend Oog Possibly 1806 - 1820

This pencil sketch by Jurriaan Andriessen, dated between 1806 and 1820, is a preliminary design for a larger artwork. The composition shows a group of people gathered around a large tree, looking up towards a single, all-seeing eye. This eye, framed within an arched opening, represents a divine presence, potentially symbolizing a higher power or the idea of enlightenment. The simple, yet expressive style of the sketch is characteristic of Andriessen's work, who is known for his architectural designs and drawings. This design, currently in the Rijksmuseum, provides insight into the creative process of this Dutch artist during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
