Perspectiefoefening met een open deur 1816 - 1852

"Perspectiefoefening met een open deur" (Perspective Exercise with an Open Door) is a pencil drawing by the Dutch artist jonkvrouw Elisabeth Kemper. Dated between 1816 and 1852, the piece demonstrates a vanishing point perspective, illustrating how linear perspective is achieved using vanishing points. The drawing depicts a three-dimensional room with an open door, the geometric lines guiding the viewer's eye towards the vanishing point, showcasing Kemper's mastery of draftsmanship and understanding of perspective. The faint outline of a face within the doorway adds a subtle sense of mystery, highlighting the interplay between illusion and reality in the artwork.
