Straat met een ophaalbrug 1822 - 1880

"Straat met een ophaalbrug," a pencil sketch by Reinier Craeyvanger, depicts a street scene with a drawbridge. The artist captures the essence of the scene, with minimal detail, focusing on the structure of the bridge and the surrounding buildings. Executed in a loose, gestural style, this sketch is characteristic of Craeyvanger's working methods and exemplifies his interest in capturing the everyday life of his surroundings. The artwork, dating from 1822 - 1880, is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
