Overblijfselen van de abdij te Rijnsburg 1802

Hermanus van Brussel's "Overblijfselen van de abdij te Rijnsburg" (1802) is a detailed pencil drawing depicting the ruins of the Rijnsburg Abbey. The artist captures the crumbling walls and arches overgrown with vegetation, highlighting the passage of time and the remnants of a once-grand structure. The inclusion of a lone figure in the foreground adds a sense of scale and invites contemplation of the abbey's history. This drawing is a testament to Van Brussel's skill in capturing the melancholic beauty of decay.
