Bospad c. 1884 - 1887

"Bospad," a charcoal drawing by Willem Witsen, captures the essence of a woodland path. Created around 1884-1887, it features the intricate web of branches and trunks, rendered with expressive, gestural lines. The composition evokes a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting Witsen's keen observation of nature and his mastery of the medium. This work, currently held at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artist's focus on capturing the fleeting moments and textures of the natural world.
