Perspectiefoefening met een kubus 1813

This pencil sketch titled "Perspectiefoefening met een kubus" (Perspective Exercise with a Cube) by Catharina Kemper, created in 1813, illustrates the artist's exploration of perspective. The drawing's emphasis on geometric forms and receding lines highlights the artist's understanding of linear perspective, a fundamental principle in Western art. The faint pencil strokes and the placement of the cube within the composition demonstrate a meticulous approach to representing three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface.
