Paar uitkijkend over oosterse stad 1908 - 1937

"Paar uitkijkend over oosterse stad" (Couple looking out over an eastern city) is a pastel drawing by Dutch artist Bernard Willem Wierink, housed in the Rijksmuseum. Created between 1908 and 1937, the work depicts a couple standing on a balcony overlooking a cityscape, their backs to the viewer, with their focus on the distant horizon. The architectural details suggest a middle eastern setting. The artist uses pastel in a loose and expressive manner, creating a sense of atmosphere and distance.
