Pierre Gabriel Berthault created this drawing, "Eetkamer met twee deuren," using pen and brown ink, and gray wash. The composition is defined by its symmetry, with two doors flanking a central niche. The architectural elements—columns, arches, and recessed panels—create a structured, almost stage-like space. The drawing functions as a study in classical order, but it is not without its complexities. The linear precision and the use of shading give depth, yet the overall effect is flattened, challenging traditional perspective. The doors, rendered as dark rectangles, contrast sharply with the lighter, ornamented niche, disrupting the visual balance. Berthault’s work invites us to consider the interplay between representation and abstraction, questioning fixed notions of space and perception.
