Gezicht op jachthuis Ter Horst vanaf oprijlaan 1926

Simon Moulijn made this lithograph, 'View of the Ter Horst Hunting Lodge from the Driveway,' using ink on paper. I'm imagining Moulijn outside with his sketchpad, a bit like taking a selfie, only instead of a face, it's a whole building! The driveway leads our eyes right to the grand lodge, surrounded by trees that look like fluffy clouds. I wonder what Moulijn was thinking as he sketched each line? Maybe he was trying to capture the feeling of being there, the quietness of the place, the grandeur of the architecture against the softness of nature. There's something so simple and direct about the marks he made, like he’s saying, "Here, look at this cool place." It reminds me of other artists who love to draw buildings and landscapes, each one with their own way of seeing the world. It’s like they're all chatting to each other across time.
