Schetsboek met 65 bladen 1797 - 1838

This sketchbook, created by Dutch artist Johannes Christiaan Schotel between 1797 and 1838, is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The simple brown cover with a maroon spine reflects the practicality of the book as a working tool. The worn and faded cover hints at the countless hours Schotel spent drawing and sketching within its pages. This artwork is a valuable document that offers insight into the creative process of a talented artist during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
