Studie c. 1882 - 1884

"Studie" is a delicate pencil sketch by Willem Witsen, a prominent Dutch artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Dating from c. 1882-1884, this work showcases Witsen's early style, characterized by minimalist lines and subtle shading. The sketch, likely a preparatory study for a larger work, is housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering viewers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and artistic evolution. The simplicity of the lines suggests a potential landscape or architectural subject, inviting viewers to engage in their own interpretation of the artist's intent.
