Dorpsstraat met put en ladder 1867 - 1874

"Dorpsstraat met put en ladder" is a lithograph by Dutch artist Frederik Hendrik Weissenbruch, dating from 1867-1874. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a quiet, almost desolate street scene, likely in a Dutch village. The composition focuses on a corner, where a ladder leans against a wall, a well sits at its base, and a few birds roam the cobbled ground. The overall impression is one of peaceful solitude, typical of Weissenbruch's characteristic style, which emphasized subtle light and shadow play to convey a sense of atmosphere.
