Enkele figuren bij een oude stadspoort 1778 - 1838

Anthonie van den Bos, a Dutch artist born in 1763, created this pen and ink drawing titled *Enkele figuren bij een oude stadspoort* between 1778 and 1838. The drawing depicts a group of people standing near a stone gate, likely an old city gate, with surrounding buildings and trees. The artist’s detailed rendering of the architecture and figures creates a sense of realism and captures the daily life of the time. This drawing is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, and its small dimensions, 247 mm by 208 mm, make it an intimate glimpse into a bygone era.
