Abklatsch van de krijttekening op pagina 5 c. 1884 - 1887

This faint charcoal sketch, titled "Abklatsch van de krijttekening op pagina 5," is a work by Dutch artist Willem Witsen, created between 1884 and 1887. The work, housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a transfer from a larger chalk drawing. It depicts an abstract form that appears to be a landscape, with details obscured by the transfer process, creating a sense of mystery and hinting at the underlying composition. This work exemplifies Witsen's interest in exploring the expressive potential of simple materials and techniques, a characteristic of his style.
