Gezicht te Velsen 1789 - 1859

"Gezicht te Velsen" is a pencil drawing created by Dutch artist Pieter de Goeje between 1789 and 1859. The artwork depicts a view of the Dutch town of Velsen, with a church tower dominating the center of the composition. The drawing is notable for its delicate lines and detailed depiction of the local architecture, including the brickwork of the church tower and the thatched roofs of the surrounding houses. The scene is filled with small details, such as a small figure working in a garden, adding to the sense of quiet realism that characterizes de Goeje's style. This drawing is a testament to the artist's keen observation and skill in capturing the beauty of everyday life in rural Dutch landscapes.
