Willem Witsen's "Boot tussen twee palen bij een hut te Giethoorn" is a charcoal drawing depicting a boat tied to a post, with a hut in the background. The minimal detail and loose lines of the drawing evoke the impressionistic style of late 19th-century Dutch art. Witsen’s work captured the essence of the rural landscape of his native Netherlands, known for its canals and waterways. This piece is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
