"Twee muzikanten" (Two Musicians), created between 1899 and 1952 by Dutch artist Johan van Hell (1889-1952), is a pencil drawing depicting two men, both in hats and coats, walking in profile. The man on the left carries a tuba, while the man on the right holds a trumpet. The minimalist style of the drawing, executed in shades of gray, creates a sense of anonymity and highlights the simple act of walking. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
