Annotatie 1893 - 1897

"Annotatie" is a pencil drawing by Willem Witsen, a prominent Dutch artist known for his depictions of everyday life. This 1893-1897 piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is likely a preparatory sketch for a larger work. The simple composition showcases a series of faint, almost ghostly, lines, suggestive of a landscape or architectural form. The delicate yet expressive lines are characteristic of Witsen's approach, which often captured the essence of his subjects with minimal detail.
