Ruïne bij Schönberg 1871

Maria Vos's "Ruïne bij Schönberg," a pencil sketch from 1871, captures the crumbling remnants of a once grand structure. The artist's focus on the texture of the weathered stone and the delicate, linear shading adds a sense of depth and age to the ruined building, creating a poignant reminder of the passage of time. This evocative depiction is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offering a glimpse into Vos's artistic practice and her keen observation of nature's transformative power.
