Interieur met lambrisering 1889 - 1894

"Interieur met lambrisering," a pencil drawing by Antoon Derkinderen, is a study of an interior space. Created between 1889 and 1894, the work shows Derkinderen's interest in capturing the essence of a room through simple lines and subtle shading. The drawing's minimalist approach emphasizes the architectural elements of the space, hinting at the presence of furniture and a window, while leaving the details to the viewer's imagination. The artist's use of light and shadow further enhances the sense of depth and volume within the composition. This study exemplifies Derkinderen's early interest in the architectural and interior design, which continued to feature prominently throughout his career.
