Oprit en huis bij Malling Abbey 1858

Gerrit Postma’s "Oprit en huis bij Malling Abbey" (1858) is a delicate pencil drawing depicting a picturesque scene in the countryside. The composition is dominated by a pair of trees arching over a gravel path, their branches forming a leafy canopy. The viewer is drawn into the scene by the perspective of the path, which leads towards a stone building in the distance. Postma’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the foliage, which is rendered with subtle strokes, creating a sense of depth and texture. The drawing is a beautiful example of 19th-century landscape art and offers a glimpse into the natural beauty of the English countryside.
