Taanstraat te Amsterdam 1870 - 1926

Willem Wenckebach's "Taanstraat te Amsterdam" is a pen and ink drawing of a narrow street in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Created between 1870 and 1926, the artwork depicts a row of brick buildings with characteristic Dutch gables. The drawing focuses on the architectural details and the sense of perspective, showing the narrowness of the street and the close proximity of the buildings. Wenckebach's meticulous lines capture the texture of the brickwork and the intricate details of the windows and doors. The artwork is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection, providing a glimpse into the urban landscape of Amsterdam in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
