Bosgezicht c. 1920

"Bosgezicht" is a charcoal drawing created around 1920 by Dutch artist Johan Antonie de Jonge (1864-1927). The work is characterized by loose, gestural brushstrokes that evoke the feeling of a dense woodland. De Jonge, known for his landscapes and still lifes, captured the essence of the forest through the interplay of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and mystery. The drawing's abstract quality, emphasizing the shapes and forms of the trees, exemplifies the artist's exploration of Impressionist and Expressionist styles.
