Gezicht op een vervallen muur in een landschap c. 1828 - 1897

Adrianus Eversen made this drawing of a dilapidated wall in a landscape using watercolor and pencil. The composition divides the view into distinct horizontal bands, from the earth in the foreground to the partial structure at the top. Eversen articulates the scene with an emphasis on line and color, creating depth and texture with a limited palette. The rough strokes and layering of washes evoke a sense of decay and transience. The structure looks fragile. The artist uses the materiality of the paint itself to suggest a landscape in flux. The soft washes and blurred lines challenge any fixed, objective reality, presenting a world seen through a subjective lens. Eversen's piece destabilizes traditional notions of landscape art, embracing a more personal, introspective vision.
