Studieblad, onder andere met figuren bij een poort 1839 - 1894

Lambertus Lingeman created this drawing, which appears to be a page from a sketchbook, using graphite or a similar medium. The composition consists of various figures scattered across the page, giving a sense of spontaneity. Lingeman's marks create a range of figures in different activities, from people walking and carrying items to others gathered near a gateway. Note how the artist uses line quality to define form and space. The varied densities create a sense of depth while the rough lines capture movement and the ephemeral nature of everyday life. The lack of a clear focal point encourages the eye to wander, engaging with the scene and its elements. It destabilizes traditional notions of composition, suggesting that value can be found in fragments of the everyday.
