Een trom before 1839

"Een Trom" (Dutch for "A Drum") is a small, 19th-century work by the Dutch artist Gerrit Schouten. The artwork, which is a study in detail, depicts a small, wooden drum covered in cloth, likely used for musical purposes. The muted colors and weathered texture of the drum evoke a sense of age and history, while the intricate details of the cloth wrapping and rope binding speak to Schouten's keen observation of the everyday world.
