Bomengroep 1870 - 1923

"Bomengroep" is a charcoal drawing created by Willem Witsen between 1870 and 1923, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The piece depicts a serene, almost mystical grove of trees rendered in a stark and simplified style. The focus is on the thick, imposing trunks, their rugged textures captured with meticulous detail. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation and natural beauty, typical of Witsen's later works that sought to capture the essence of the Dutch landscape.
