Straat met bomen een een wandelende figuur 1890 - 1946

Cornelis Vreedenburgh made this drawing, Straat met bomen een een wandelende figuur, with a pencil on paper. I can imagine Vreedenburgh standing on the side of the road, sketchbook in hand. Maybe he was trying to capture the light filtering through the trees, or the way the road seemed to stretch on forever. You know, it's funny how a simple sketch like this can feel so complete. It’s like he’s not just drawing what he sees, but also what he feels. I am particularly drawn to those horizontal lines. There is something comforting in the way the horizontal lines guide our eye across the composition. Are they the road? Or the river? It’s a reminder that artists are always in conversation with each other, borrowing ideas and techniques, and pushing the boundaries of what painting can be. It’s a conversation I’m proud to be a part of.
