Landschap, mogelijk een duinlandschap c. 1888 - 1891

This charcoal drawing, created by Willem Witsen around 1888-1891, titled "Landschap, mogelijk een duinlandschap", is a study in light and shadow. It depicts a possible dune landscape, with the artist's focus on capturing the subtle textures and forms of the dunes. The simple lines and the use of charcoal create a sense of immediacy, as if Witsen had captured the landscape in a fleeting moment. This drawing exemplifies his interest in capturing the essence of nature through expressive, minimalist means. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
