Willem Witsen's "Gezicht op een straat met figuren, mogelijk te Wijk bij Duurstede" is a charcoal drawing from 1906-1907, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. The piece is a fleeting glimpse of a street scene, rendered in expressive strokes. The composition is dominated by the facades of buildings, obscured by shadows and foliage.
