Bakstenen poort in een straat 1833 - 1862

Gijsbertus Johannes Verspuy's "Bakstenen poort in een straat" is an etching depicting a brick doorway in a street. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, shows a woman walking in front of the doorway. The composition captures the simple beauty of everyday life in the 19th century Netherlands. Verspuy's detailed rendering of the brickwork, windowpanes, and even the woman's clothing, creates a sense of realism and intimacy in this small-scale artwork.
