Straat aan het water te 's-Graveland 1849 - 1895

"Straat aan het water te 's-Graveland" is a pencil drawing by Willem Koekkoek, a Dutch artist who specialized in landscape and architectural scenes. This sketch, dated between 1849 and 1895, depicts a street lined with traditional Dutch houses, with a canal or river visible in the foreground. The artist’s loose yet precise lines capture the details of the buildings, with annotations indicating color notes, perhaps for a future painting. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Koekkoek’s working process and his interest in the architectural charm of Dutch towns.
