Huizen aan een gracht c. 1876 - 1924

"Huizen aan een gracht" (Houses on a Canal) is a drawing by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, a Dutch artist known for his depictions of urban landscapes. Created between 1876 and 1924, this work captures a quiet scene in Amsterdam, showcasing the characteristic canal houses with their distinctive facades. The drawing employs a muted palette and loose brushstrokes, conveying a sense of atmospheric depth and subtle light. The lone figure in the foreground adds a touch of human presence to the otherwise empty street. This piece is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
