"Abklatsch van de krijttekening op blad 7 recto" is a faint pencil drawing on paper by Dutch artist Reinier Craeyvanger, housed in the Rijksmuseum. It is a preliminary sketch, likely for a larger work, and was created between 1822 and 1880. The subject matter remains unclear due to the faintness of the lines. The composition hints at a landscape setting with possible structures or foliage, indicating Craeyvanger's fascination with the natural world and its representation.
