Bosgezicht 1874 - 1923

"Bosgezicht" (Woodland View) is a charcoal drawing by Willem Witsen, a Dutch artist known for his evocative depictions of landscapes. Created between 1874 and 1923, the artwork showcases Witsen's signature style of capturing the essence of nature through quick, gestural strokes. The drawing captures the feeling of a dense, shadowy woodland, with the artist emphasizing the verticality of the trees through bold lines. This expressive work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, reflects Witsen's interest in capturing the raw energy and beauty of the natural world.
