Abklatsch van de krijttekening op pagina 20 c. 1884 - 1887

Willem Witsen's "Abklatsch van de krijttekening op pagina 20" is a graphite sketch on paper, dating from c. 1884-1887. This piece is one of many in his sketchbooks, which Witsen frequently used to practice his craft and capture his surroundings. The loose, gestural lines of the sketch suggest that it is a quick study, possibly of a still-life setup, with two distinct objects at the bottom of the frame. The image is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum.
