Westbroek, a self-taught artist, often populated his works with enigmatic figures and recurring motifs that suggest a personal mythology. In this composition, a central tree acts as the anchor for the scene, dividing the space between two distinct figures. To the left, a man in a hat interacts with the tree, while to the right, a figure stands alongside a unicorn-like creature. The upper portion of the drawing features a large circular form containing two fish and a series of smaller circles, creating a celestial or perhaps ritualistic atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe line work is delicate and sparse, characteristic of Westbroek's preparatory or conceptual sketches. The composition is flat, prioritising the arrangement of symbols over realistic depth. Small details, such as the tiny windmill in the background, provide a sense of place, yet the overall effect remains dreamlike and detached from conventional representation. The use of blue pencil adds a subtle tonal quality to the work, distinguishing the upper symbolic elements from the figures below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWestbroek's practice is often associated with Outsider Art, as his work developed outside the formal structures of the art world. His drawings frequently explore themes of nature, human interaction, and folklore, often blending these elements into singular, idiosyncratic visions. This piece offers a glimpse into the artist's process, showing how he layered disparate images to construct his own visual language. The work is preserved as part of a larger collection of his sketches, which document his creative output over several decades. It remains a compelling example of his ability to imbue simple line drawings with a sense of mystery and narrative weight.\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=\"\/products\/drie-proeven-three-proofs-cornelis-ploos-van-amstel\" 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;\"\u003eDrie proeven (Three Proofs) - Cornelis Ploos van Amstel — Cornelis Ploos van Amstel\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/klaver-clover-theo-nieuwenhuis\" 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;\"\u003eKlaver (Clover) - Theo Nieuwenhuis — Theo Nieuwenhuis\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Willem Westbroek","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58513011048783,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58513023467855,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58513023500623,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58513023533391,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58513023566159,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58513023598927,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58513023631695,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58513023664463,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58513023697231,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58513023729999,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58513023762767,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58513023795535,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Vis-met-zes-cirkels_Poster_CompositorV1_1786453244436.jpg?v=1787118004","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/vis-met-zes-cirkels-willem-westbroek","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
