Huis aan een weg met schutting 1855

"Huis aan een weg met schutting" (House on a road with fence), created in 1855 by Johan Conrad Greive, is a pencil drawing depicting a simple, unassuming house. The drawing focuses on the building’s facade and roof, with a fence running along the right side and a small road leading off into the distance on the left. This work exemplifies Greive’s interest in capturing everyday scenes of Dutch life. The piece’s realistic depiction of the house, fence, and road creates a sense of intimacy and offers a glimpse into the daily life of the time. The Rijksmuseum houses this small-scale work, a testament to Greive’s skill in capturing the details of everyday life in his drawings.
