Landschap met een brug c. 1825 - 1875

"Landschap met een brug" is a pencil sketch by Petrus Johannes Schotel, a Dutch artist known for his landscape paintings. Dating back to the mid-19th century, this drawing showcases Schotel's preliminary studies for a larger work. The sketch depicts a bridge, likely in a rural setting, with minimal details, indicating its purpose as a preparatory work. The use of a simple, light pencil stroke allows the viewer to appreciate the artist's initial observations and quick study of the subject. This piece is a testament to Schotel's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of a scene with few strokes.
