Jan Wilmink – Sint-Joriskerk, the market on the Hof, Amersfoort – pen drawing

Pen drawing of St George’s Church, Amersfoort – the market on the Hof, Jan Wilmink

A lively original pen drawing in black ink of St George’s Church (Sint-Joriskerk) in Amersfoort with its ornate Gothic church porch, and in front of it the market on the Hof: stalls with awnings, market traders in caps, a bicycle and a barrel. Titled in the image ‘St. Joriskerk de markt op het Hof’ and signed ‘Jan Wilmink’. The artist works with quick, loose hatching that captures the busy bustle of the market beautifully. The sheet is mounted on card with a mount border.

About the artist

Why we chose this piece

A small but very lively townscape full of detail – and a real drawing, not a print: you can see the artist’s hand in every line. Lovely for anyone who loves Amersfoort.
