"Heuvellandschap," a charcoal drawing by Willem Witsen, is a study of landscape created between 1888 and 1891. The drawing captures a hilly landscape, using loose, gestural lines to depict the form of the hills and the surrounding vegetation. Witsen, a prominent Dutch artist, is known for his depictions of the Dutch countryside. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates his masterful use of charcoal to express the mood and atmosphere of the natural world.
