Plein bij avond 1889

"Plein bij avond," created in 1889 by Willem (II) Steelink, is a black and white etching depicting a scene of a horse-drawn carriage at night. The dim light creates an atmosphere of mystery and intrigue, with the figures in the foreground appearing as silhouettes against the shadowy cityscape. The artwork showcases Steelink's masterful use of line and tone to convey the mood of a city bathed in the soft glow of streetlights. This work is an excellent example of the artist's exploration of the urban landscape and its nocturnal ambiance.
