Rechthoekige omlijsting 1876 - 1924

"Rechthoekige omlijsting" (Rectangular Frame) is a pencil sketch created by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof between 1876 and 1924, now located in the Rijksmuseum. This simple drawing depicts the outline of a frame, a common subject for artists exploring compositional elements and the power of lines. Dijsselhof's minimalist approach to sketching allows the viewer to focus on the form itself, highlighting the essence of framing and its role in defining the space within. This drawing exemplifies the artist's exploration of architectural details and the interplay of lines in creating a sense of structure.
