Pannekoekenhuisje De Schaapskooi 1845

"Pannekoekenhuisje De Schaapskooi" is a pencil and wash drawing by Paul Joseph Constantin Gabriël, created in 1845. It depicts a quaint, thatched-roof cottage nestled amongst trees, with a small path leading towards its entrance. The soft, atmospheric rendering evokes a sense of rural tranquility and captures the essence of Dutch landscape painting, popular in the 19th century. The drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into Gabriël's early artistic style and his interest in capturing the simple beauty of everyday life.
