"Huis met gesloten hek" (House with closed gate), a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jan van Essen, depicts a traditional Dutch house with a closed gate. Created between 1864 and 1936, the drawing showcases van Essen's masterful use of line and shading to capture the building's architectural details and the surrounding foliage, highlighting the serene atmosphere of the scene. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the domestic life of Dutch citizens during the 19th century. This intimate portrayal of a seemingly ordinary scene showcases van Essen's focus on realism, capturing the essence of everyday life in his native country.
