People in an urban neighbourhood 1662

This 1662 drawing by Esaias Boursse (1631-1672) depicts a street scene in an urban neighbourhood. The drawing showcases Boursse's keen eye for detail, capturing the simple beauty of everyday life, with houses, a palm tree, and figures going about their daily routines. The sketch is a fine example of 17th-century Dutch drawing, employing delicate lines to capture a sense of depth and perspective within this intimate urban scene.
