Hoek van een gracht 1900 - 1931

"Hoek van een gracht" (Corner of a Canal) is a 1900-1931 lithograph by Jacob Bendien, a Dutch artist known for his evocative cityscapes. The print, with its muted tones and simplified forms, captures a quiet corner of an urban landscape. The composition, centered on a pair of bare trees framing a curved canal wall, evokes a sense of solitude and introspection. The building, streetlight, and lone bench in the foreground add subtle layers of narrative, inviting viewers to imagine the stories unfolding within this intimate scene.
