Condition: Commensurate with age, some minor paper toning, a few small stains but nothing that distracts to paper.

About: Göbell is known for his romantic summer and winter scenesMany artists through 19th-century Dutch art explored the genre of the everyday person in a desire to become relevant to the growing middle class. Travellers, farmers and tavern owners were used as modes to social comment on the people and economic activities of the day.
Göbell’s practice was to make sketches which he then developd into drawings, watercolour and oil paintings in his studio. This drawing is a working study of a common genre that portrayed the activities of the people. Artists often produced similar works to create a reference for larger pieces predominantly paintings.
