Stadsgezicht met een kerk c. 1828 - 1897

This pencil sketch by Dutch artist Adrianus Eversen, titled “Stadsgezicht met een kerk,” is a quick and gestural depiction of a church tower rising up among the trees of a city. The sketch was created sometime between 1828 and 1897. Eversen’s loose lines and sketchy details give a sense of immediacy, capturing the feel of the moment. While the subject is clear, the artist’s focus is not on precise detail, but on capturing the essence of the cityscape. The work is a classic example of a cityscape sketch, a common genre in 19th-century art.
