Door een boog overkapte stenen trap c. 1935 - 1936

Cornelis Vreedenburgh's "Door een boog overkapte stenen trap" (c. 1935-1936) is a pencil drawing of a stone staircase, seen from below, with an archway framing its opening. Vreedenburgh, a Dutch painter and draftsman, was known for his landscapes and cityscapes, and this sketch showcases his keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the texture of stone. The simplicity of the composition, with its focus on the interplay of light and shadow, creates a sense of depth and intrigue. The drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and offers a glimpse into Vreedenburgh's artistic practice and his appreciation for architectural elements.
