Ontmoetingen 1864

"Ontmoetingen" (1864) by Alexander Ver Huell depicts four figures in a simple, expressive style, creating a sense of movement and immediacy. The drawing, created with a delicate line and subtle shading, captures the fleeting moments of urban encounters. Ver Huell, known for his illustrations and caricatures, skillfully portrays the characters' interactions with a mix of humor and realism. The artwork, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into 19th-century Dutch street life and Ver Huell's keen observation of human nature.
