These structures provided skaters with refreshments, typically spiced gingerbread (koek) and warm drinks like mulled wine or chocolate (zopie). The artist captures the ephemeral nature of the stall with rapid, expressive ink strokes. The central form is a conical tent, likely constructed from canvas or sailcloth, supported by poles. A flag flutters at the top, suggesting a cold, breezy day on the ice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKrausz employs a shorthand technique to suggest the surrounding activity. To the left, a figure stands near a simple chair, while other indistinct shapes on the right imply a gathering of people. The cross-hatching on the tent provides volume and texture, contrasting with the sparse, economical lines used for the figures and the horizon. This work functions as a direct observation of daily life in the Netherlands, documenting a social custom that has persisted for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sketch lacks the formal finish of a studio painting, yet it possesses a directness that conveys the atmosphere of a winter day. The artist focuses on the silhouette and the structural form of the stall, prioritising the immediate visual impression over fine detail. Such drawings offer a glimpse into the working methods of Dutch artists of the period, who often recorded scenes from their environment in portable sketchbooks. The composition is balanced by the weight of the tent against the lighter, gestural figures, creating a sense of space despite the minimal use of ink. This piece is a study of a specific cultural phenomenon, rendered with the confidence of an artist familiar with the Dutch winter climate and the social habits of his contemporaries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon Andreas Krausz","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443734679887,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443747197263,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443747230031,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443747262799,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443747295567,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443747328335,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443747361103,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443747393871,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443747426639,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443747459407,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443747492175,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443747524943,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Koek-en-zopie_Poster_CompositorV1_1786239726517.jpg?v=1786419975"},{"product_id":"achterkant-van-een-vierwielige-kar-simon-andreas-krausz","title":"Achterkant van een vierwielige kar - Simon Andreas Krausz","description":"\u003cp\u003eA direct and observational graphite sketch by Simon Andreas Krausz, depicting the structural form of a four-wheeled cart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis graphite study by the Dutch artist Simon Andreas Krausz captures the functional form of a four-wheeled cart. The drawing focuses on the structural mechanics of the vehicle, rendered with a direct and unadorned hand. Krausz, active during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, often produced sketches that served as observational records of daily life and rural equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is sparse, prioritising the physical geometry of the cart over atmospheric detail. The lines are quick and purposeful, suggesting a preparatory study intended for the artist's personal reference or as a component of a larger, more finished composition. The sketch provides a glimpse into the working methods of a period where artists frequently documented the mundane objects of their environment to maintain accuracy in their studio practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy focusing on the rear view of the cart, Krausz highlights the utilitarian design of the wheels and the frame. The lack of shading or complex tonal work allows the viewer to focus entirely on the draughtsmanship. This piece is a quiet example of the observational tradition in Dutch art, where the artist acts as a recorder of the material world. The paper shows the natural ageing expected of a historical sketch, adding a tactile quality to the work. It is an ideal choice for those who appreciate the raw, unpolished nature of historical studies and the technical discipline required to capture form with minimal strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/sir-anthony-panizzi-george-frederic-watts\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSir Anthony Panizzi - George Frederic Watts — George Frederic Watts\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/burghley-seat-of-the-earl-of-exeter-francis-chesham\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBurghley, Seat of the Earl of Exeter - Francis Chesham — Francis Chesham\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon Andreas Krausz","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58455003824463,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58455030530383,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58455030563151,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58455030595919,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58455030628687,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58455030661455,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58455030694223,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58455030726991,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58455030759759,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58455030792527,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58455030825295,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58455030858063,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Achterkant-van-een-vierwielige-kar_Poster_CompositorV1_1786241227204.jpg?v=1786483947"},{"product_id":"kostuumstudies-van-boerinnen-simon-andreas-krausz","title":"Kostuumstudies van boerinnen - Simon Andreas Krausz","description":"\u003cp\u003eA series of observational sketches by Simon Andreas Krausz documenting traditional Dutch peasant attire through fluid ink lines and light watercolour washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work by Simon Andreas Krausz captures a series of observational sketches focused on traditional peasant attire. As a Dutch artist active during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Krausz frequently documented the social customs and dress of his contemporaries. This sheet functions as a visual record, likely intended for personal reference or as preparatory material for larger compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is informal, presenting multiple figures and accessories across the page without a unified background. Krausz employs a fluid, calligraphic line to define the silhouettes of the women, their bonnets, and their hats. The application of watercolour is sparing, used primarily to suggest the colour of a shawl or the texture of a basket. By isolating specific elements, such as the beaded necklace or the distinct shapes of headwear, the artist provides a clear view of the sartorial details that defined rural life in the Netherlands during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKrausz demonstrates a keen eye for the essential forms of his subjects. The sketchiness of the execution allows the viewer to observe the artist's process, from the initial contour lines to the final wash. This piece offers a glimpse into the observational habits of a period artist, prioritising the documentation of form and costume over polished finish. The neutral paper tone provides a quiet backdrop, allowing the grey ink and muted washes to remain the primary focus. This study remains a useful example of the documentary impulse in Dutch art, where the everyday appearance of the populace became a subject of artistic interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/neo-classical-vases-in-a-landscape-jean-charles-delafosse\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNeo-classical Vases in a Landscape - Jean Charles Delafosse — Jean Charles Delafosse\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/de-vrouw-van-sebastiaan-leerse-willem-bartel-van-der-kooi\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDe vrouw van Sebastiaan Leerse - Willem Bartel van der Kooi — Willem Bartel van der Kooi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon Andreas Krausz","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58725153866063,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58725352341839,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58725352374607,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58725352407375,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58725352440143,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58725352472911,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58725352505679,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58725352538447,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58725352571215,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58725352603983,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58725352636751,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58725352669519,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Kostuumstudies-van-boerinnen_Poster_CompositorV1_1789039537893.jpg?v=1789039575"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/nl\/collections\/simon-andreas-krausz.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
