Zolderinterieur 1891

Edouard Tyck, a Belgian artist, created this sketch, titled *Zolderinterieur,* depicting the interior of an attic, using graphite. Consider the intimate, domestic space Tyck captures, reflective of the late 19th-century artistic interest in portraying the everyday lives of the middle class. The sketch offers a glimpse into personal spaces, revealing the textures and rhythms of daily existence. The rough lines suggest a space of refuge or retreat, with the intimate details of the attic becoming symbolic of personal identity and history. There's a quiet intimacy here, an invitation to reflect on how our spaces shape us and how we, in turn, shape them. The work isn't just a depiction of a space; it’s an exploration of the self, mediated through the intimate details of the home.
