Abklatsch van de krijttekening op pagina 23 c. 1897 - 1899

This faint charcoal drawing, titled "Abklatsch van de krijttekening op pagina 23" and created by Dutch artist Willem Witsen between 1897 and 1899, is a study of an architectural detail, likely from a building in Amsterdam, where Witsen lived and worked. The faint, almost ghostly lines of the drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, suggest a rapid sketch, perhaps a preparatory work for a larger composition, typical of Witsen's artistic process, a hallmark of his Impressionistic style.
