Zware storm en overstroming bij Halfweg, 15 november 1775 Possibly 1775

This graphite drawing by Dutch artist Simon Fokke depicts a stormy scene in Halfweg, a village near Amsterdam. Created around 1775, the drawing shows a windmill in the distance, with figures in the foreground struggling against the strong winds. The use of fine lines and shading captures the dynamic atmosphere of the storm, drawing viewers into the scene. The artwork, titled "Zware storm en overstroming bij Halfweg, 15 november 1775," is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the realism and observational skills of Fokke's work.
