Schetsen van een straat en twee zittende personen 1834 - 1872

Frans Arnold Breuhaus de Groot's "Schetsen van een straat en twee zittende personen" (Sketches of a street and two seated people) is a pencil drawing created between 1834 and 1872, and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. This sketch captures a scene in a Dutch village, with a street lined with houses and a few figures going about their day. The artist's use of subtle lines and shading creates a sense of depth and realism, highlighting the architectural details of the buildings and the figures' movements. This piece offers a glimpse into the everyday life of 19th century Dutch towns and showcases de Groot's keen eye for detail and his skill in capturing the essence of a scene.
