"Ingang van een grot" (Entrance to a Cave) is a pencil drawing created between 1860 and 1861 by Dutch artist Isaac Gosschalk. The work depicts a dramatic, shadowy cave entrance, rendered with meticulous detail using hatching and cross-hatching techniques. The artist, known for his landscapes and sketches, captures the natural world's raw beauty and emphasizes the texture and form of the rocks through the use of light and shadow. This drawing offers a glimpse into Gosschalk's artistic practice and his keen observation of nature.
