Bosgezicht 1874 - 1923

"Bosgezicht" (Woodland View) is a charcoal sketch by Dutch artist Willem Witsen, created between 1874 and 1923. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, the artwork is a minimalist depiction of a woodland scene, characterized by loose, gestural lines suggesting foliage and a sense of depth. The work exemplifies Witsen's interest in capturing the essence of nature through simplified forms, a characteristic of his Impressionist and naturalist styles.
