Schuur gebouwd in de hoek van een muur 1700 - 1790

Hendrik Chalon's "Schuur gebouwd in de hoek van een muur" (1700-1790) is a detailed pen and wash drawing depicting a crumbling shed built into the corner of a brick wall. The shed has a partially collapsed roof and is framed by a long, leaning pole. Two figures are visible in a doorway on the left side of the drawing, suggesting a sense of domesticity and everyday life. Chalon’s work often focused on architectural details and urban scenes, capturing the textures and decay of the Dutch built environment. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, making the viewer feel as though they are standing within the scene itself.
