Overkapte hal, mogelijk van een station 1890 - 1946

Cornelis Vreedenburgh made this drawing, possibly of a train station, with pencil on paper. The quick, tentative lines really give you a sense of being there, like he was just sketching something he saw in a fleeting moment. It’s all about the process of looking and marking. I can imagine him standing there, quickly trying to capture the light and the shapes of the station, just trying to get the feeling of the place down on paper. See how he uses these smudgy, almost scribbled lines to create this sense of depth and shadow? The texture is really important. It’s not just about what he’s drawing, but how he’s drawing it. It reminds me a little of Whistler's sketches, where the atmosphere is more important than the details. It's like a visual shorthand for the hustle and bustle of a train station. Art is all about how we see and experience the world, and drawings like this really open up our eyes to the beauty in the everyday.
