Kade bij de Groothoofdspoort te Dordrecht 1797 - 1838

This watercolor sketch, "Kade bij de Groothoofdspoort te Dordrecht," by Johannes Christiaan Schotel, depicts a view of the Groothoofdspoort gate in Dordrecht, Netherlands. Painted between 1797 and 1838, this piece showcases Schotel's keen eye for architectural detail, particularly the towering gate with its intricate spire. The incomplete nature of the watercolor, with its visible pencil lines, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and the evolution of the scene. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a fascinating glimpse into Dutch urban architecture during the 18th and 19th centuries.
