Bosgezicht 1874 - 1923

"Bosgezicht" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Willem Witsen, created between 1874 and 1923. The artwork depicts a forest scene, captured in a gestural and expressive style. Witsen's use of quick, loose lines suggests the movement of branches and the density of the trees, conveying a sense of atmosphere and depth. This drawing exemplifies Witsen's interest in depicting the natural world, capturing its essence through a minimalist and evocative approach. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, this work showcases Witsen's skill as a draftsman and his ability to communicate a strong sense of place through a simple yet powerful composition.
