Architectonisch detail met rolwerk 1883 - 1922

Here we see Johanna van de Kamer's "Architectonisch detail met rolwerk," a drawing done with what looks like graphite on paper. Imagine the artist, maybe on site somewhere, quickly trying to capture the details of some fancy architecture. It's not about getting every line perfect but about feeling the shapes, the way the light hits, and the overall vibe. Check out those curly lines! They give the architectural detail a sense of movement, as if the building is alive and growing. There’s something about the quick, light strokes that feels really immediate and personal. It makes me wonder about the conversation between artists like van de Kamer and how they influence each other. You can see the artist’s process of thinking through drawing; nothing is ever really resolved, only translated and imagined.
