Schemerlandschap 1870 - 1923

Willem Witsen's "Schemerlandschap" (Twilight Landscape) is a subtle and evocative drawing that captures the soft light of dusk. Executed between 1870 and 1923, the work showcases Witsen's mastery of atmospheric effects, with the hazy landscape and a barely discernible tree silhouetted against the fading light. This drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the Dutch artist's interest in depicting the natural world with a sense of quiet contemplation and atmospheric beauty.
