De St. Plechelmuskerk te Oldenzaal 1734

"De St. Plechelmuskerk te Oldenzaal" is a 1734 drawing by Hendrik Spilman, a Dutch artist known for his architectural drawings. The artwork depicts the St. Plechelmus Church in Oldenzaal, Netherlands, showcasing the building's impressive tower and detailed stonework. The drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and offers a glimpse into the architectural history of the church in the 18th century. The drawing, created using a combination of pen and ink and wash, captures the church's grandeur against a backdrop of a lightly sketched cloudy sky. The presence of small figures in the foreground provides scale and adds a sense of human presence to the scene.
