Stadsplein in regen met rijtuigen 1871 - 1906

"Stadsplein in regen met rijtuigen" ("City Square in the Rain with Carriages") is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Pieter de Josselin de Jong, created between 1871 and 1906. The drawing depicts a city square in the rain, with two horse-drawn carriages in the foreground. The scene is rendered with a soft and atmospheric quality, suggesting the dampness of the air and the dim lighting of the rainy day. De Jong's use of charcoal creates a subtle, almost hazy effect, highlighting the transient nature of the weather and the passing moment. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a powerful example of De Jong's talent for capturing the beauty of everyday life.
