"Façade" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures a fragment of an architectural detail, likely a decorative element from a building facade. Dijsselhof was known for his meticulous attention to detail and draftsmanship, evident in this small but intricate sketch. This drawing, created between 1876 and 1924, offers a glimpse into Dijsselhof's artistic process and his fascination with architectural forms.
