Huis met uithangbord 1773 - 1843

This pencil sketch, "Huis met uithangbord" (House with a Signboard), by Georges Michel is a prime example of his signature style. It is a delicate yet detailed representation of a humble dwelling, its roof and windows rendered with a light touch, capturing the atmosphere of the artist's immediate surroundings. Created between 1773 and 1843, the piece reflects Michel's focus on everyday scenes and his ability to find beauty in the ordinary. The sketch's small size, measuring 104 mm by 162 mm, underscores the intimacy and immediacy of Michel's approach to capturing his observations.
