Studies, vermoedelijk een hek 1827 - 1891

This is a preliminary sketch by Dutch artist Johannes Bosboom, likely depicting a fence or gate. The drawing, created between 1827 and 1891, is a study of a common architectural element, illustrating the artist's interest in the details of his surroundings. The loose lines and minimal detail suggest a quick observation, focusing on the basic form of the structure. The sketch, part of Bosboom's extensive collection of studies, exemplifies his meticulous approach to capturing the essence of his subject matter before developing them into finished paintings. It's currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
