Boot varend bij een brug 1849 - 1895

"Boot varend bij een brug" (Boat sailing by a bridge) is a pencil sketch by Willem Koekkoek, a Dutch artist known for his landscape paintings. This sketch, created between 1849 and 1895, provides a glimpse into Koekkoek's artistic process, capturing the essence of a boat navigating a bridge with minimal detail. The simplified lines and delicate strokes suggest a quick study of the scene, perhaps made in the field. The sketch is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to the importance of Koekkoek's contributions to Dutch art.
