De gang langs het kerkhof 1858

"De gang langs het kerkhof" is a black and white print created by Willem (I) Steelink in 1858. This print, measuring 170 mm by 119 mm, depicts a scene of a man walking with two children, one of whom is holding a bird. Steelink, a Dutch artist active in the mid-19th century, was known for his realistic and often melancholic portrayals of everyday life. The title suggests a somber or contemplative mood, while the composition itself seems to convey a sense of quiet movement and contemplation. The print's small size suggests a personal or intimate work, perhaps a study for a larger painting or a personal reflection on family and mortality.
