Kade in een stad 1855 - 1881

"Kade in een stad" is a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Coen Metzelaar, created between 1855 and 1881. The drawing depicts a bustling street scene in a Dutch city, likely Amsterdam, as indicated by the canal and the characteristic canal houses. The artist's use of fine lines and hatches creates a sense of depth and detail, capturing the atmosphere of the city. The scene is filled with figures, suggesting daily life in the city, as well as boats, emphasizing the city's proximity to water. The drawing's small size, measuring 135 mm by 137 mm, suggests it was likely a study or sketch made on location.
