Architecturale omlijsting 1849 - 1895

"Architecturale omlijsting" is a pencil sketch on paper by Willem Koekkoek, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes. The drawing depicts a simple architectural frame, possibly a window or doorway, in a very rough and minimal style, perhaps indicating a preliminary study for a larger work. The sketch is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The piece is indicative of the artist's early work in the late 19th century and provides a glimpse into Koekkoek's creative process.
