Schemerlandschap 1870 - 1923

"Schemerlandschap" (1870 - 1923) by Willem Witsen (1860-1923) is an atmospheric landscape drawing housed at the Rijksmuseum. The artwork, a masterful use of charcoal and black chalk, depicts a hazy, shadowy landscape with barely discernible trees and a subtle stream winding through the scene. The soft, muted tones and the blurred outlines create a sense of mystery and tranquility, characteristic of Witsen's artistic style. This work reflects Witsen's fascination with capturing the subtle nuances of light and shadow, and it exemplifies the artist's penchant for evocative, atmospheric landscapes.
