Gezicht op een rij gebouwen c. 1828 - 1897

Adrianus Eversen created this sketch of a row of buildings using graphite on paper. The architectural forms—gabled roofs and rectilinear facades—are defined by a network of fine lines, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The composition is characterized by the repetition of geometric shapes. The linear quality of the drawing emphasizes the structural elements of the buildings. The lines define the edges and planes, but the lack of shading gives it an ethereal, unfinished quality. This work can be seen as a study in form, where Eversen explores the relationship between line, shape, and space. It challenges the conventional representation of architecture. It's a deconstruction of architectural form into its most basic elements, inviting us to consider how we perceive and understand the structures that surround us.
