The Access Bridge to the Entrance Gate to the Former Castle in Buren 1760

Gerard van Rossum's 1760 drawing, "The Access Bridge to the Entrance Gate to the Former Castle in Buren", depicts a tranquil scene of a stone bridge spanning a moat leading to a fortified gate. The drawing, rendered in delicate red chalk, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the details of the bridge's archways, the lush foliage lining the water's edge, and the distant castle glimpsed through the trees. This evocative landscape, currently held at the Städel Museum, offers a glimpse into the serene beauty of the Dutch countryside during the 18th century.
