Houtsprokkelaars in het bos 1809 - 1875

"Houtsprokkelaars in het bos" (Wood Gatherers in the Forest), a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Frans Breuhaus de Groot, depicts a serene woodland scene. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a central path leading into the depths of the forest. Two figures, likely wood gatherers, are visible in the distance, adding a sense of human presence to the otherwise untouched landscape. The detailed depiction of the trees, undergrowth, and light filtering through the canopy creates a realistic and tranquil atmosphere.
