Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande's etching "Interieur van een atelier" (1851-1902) depicts the interior of an artist's studio, showcasing the tools and furniture of an artist's working space. The image, housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures the essence of the artist's environment with a detailed and realistic style, focusing on the interplay of light and shadow. The etching portrays a glimpse into the artist's creative process through the depiction of an easel and a collection of canvases stacked on a chair, with a thick curtain framing the scene.
