Fietser op een pad langs een weiland c. 1904 - 1906

"Fietser op een pad langs een weiland" is a charcoal drawing by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, dated c. 1904-1906. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a simple yet charming scene of rural life. A cyclist pedals down a path, passing by a cow grazing in a field. In the distance, a rider on horseback adds to the peaceful, bucolic atmosphere of the scene. The artist's quick, loose strokes capture the essence of the scene, evoking a sense of movement and tranquility. Dijsselhof's work is known for its portrayal of everyday life, often focusing on landscapes and figures in their natural settings, and this drawing exemplifies his style.
