Rij figuren op een plein 1890 - 1946

Cornelis Vreedenburgh made this lively pencil drawing of figures on a square. The drawing is spare and ephemeral. It’s like he's trying to capture a fleeting moment. I can imagine Vreedenburgh standing there, sketchbook in hand, quickly sketching the figures as they pass by. There is a feeling of immediacy and spontaneity. It reminds me a little bit of Daumier's drawings of crowds in Paris. The quick strokes capture the essence of the figures, their movement and energy. It's like he's saying, "Here, look at these people, these moments, this is life!" Think about how drawing like this can become a means to explore the world, to understand it better. It's about being present, observing, and capturing the essence of a moment in time. And in that way, artists like Vreedenburgh teach us how to really see.
