"Abklatsch van een tekening" is a work by Dutch artist Willem Witsen, dated between 1897 and 1899. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this artwork exemplifies Witsen's exploration of the Dutch landscape through sketching, and the unique visual imprint of a "rubbing" or "abklatsch" technique. The artwork's monochrome nature and the use of this transfer technique, creating a distinct textured effect, contribute to the overall aesthetic of the piece.
