"Wolkenlucht boven een toren, vermoedelijk de Drommedaris van Enkhuizen" is a pencil sketch by Willem Bastiaan Tholen, dated between 1900 and 1931. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a tower, possibly the Drommedaris of Enkhuizen, against a dramatic sky filled with fluffy clouds. Tholen, known for his landscapes and cityscapes, captures the essence of the Dutch sky in this quick study. The use of graphite creates a sense of atmospheric depth, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow in the clouds. This sketch provides a glimpse into Tholen's artistic process, showcasing his keen observation of nature and his ability to evoke a sense of place with minimal strokes.
