Straatgezicht met twee figuren bij een deuropening 1892 - 1916

"Straatgezicht met twee figuren bij een deuropening" is an etching by Belgian artist Rik Wouters, created between 1892 and 1916. The work depicts a street scene with two figures standing near a doorway, showcasing Wouters' signature style of capturing everyday moments with a sense of realism and intimacy. The etching is small in size, measuring only 115 mm in height and 168 mm in width, yet it effectively conveys the atmosphere of a bustling street corner. The use of etching as a medium allows for a delicate rendering of light and shadow, enhancing the depth and detail of the composition. This artwork, characteristic of Wouters' later work, provides a glimpse into the urban landscape and the daily lives of ordinary people in early 20th-century Belgium.
