Outpost 

This drawing is by Adolf Jansen, but the date is unknown, and is titled "Outpost". The composition evokes a sense of quiet desolation through its muted tones and sparse detailing. Predominantly rendered in graphite, the artist uses a delicate touch to define the forms of a horse, a figure, and the skeletal trees under a pale sky. The scene is structured around a central clearing with the vertical trunks of the trees framing the composition on either side. The sketch employs a limited palette, focusing on gradations of grey that suggest a somber, overcast day. Jansen captures a bleak, almost ghostly atmosphere, reflective of a broader artistic concern with portraying psychological states through landscape. Notice how the barren trees reach skyward like the stark verticals in Mondrian's early trees, stripped bare, devoid of naturalism to reveal the essence of form. The drawing's subdued aesthetic serves as a comment on the psychological impact of solitude and the stark realities of existence.
