Gezicht op Schalkwijk 1774 - 1828

"Gezicht op Schalkwijk" is a graphite drawing on paper by Dutch artist Pieter Bouman, created between 1774 and 1828. The artwork depicts a pastoral scene with a windmill, trees, and cows grazing in a field. Bouman's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the sky, which is rendered with subtle gradations of gray. This simple yet evocative scene showcases Bouman's skill in capturing the tranquility of the Dutch countryside, a theme that characterized his artistic output. The drawing's modest size of 202 mm by 305 mm adds to its intimate and personal feel.
