"Bijgebouw op de plantage Gambar te Java" is a pencil drawing by Willem Witsen, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and cityscapes. This artwork, created between 1920 and 1924, depicts a small outbuilding on a plantation in Java. The building is partially obscured by trees and foliage, creating a sense of depth and mystery. Witsen's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the building's structure, the trees' branches, and the surrounding vegetation. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the colonial past of Java through the lens of Witsen's distinctive artistic style.
