Landschap met bebouwing 1866 - 1922

Willem Cornelis Rip’s *Landschap met bebouwing* (Landscape with Buildings) is a quick sketch in pencil, possibly done on location. The drawing depicts a landscape scene with buildings in the distance, suggesting a rural or suburban setting. The rapid lines and loose composition are characteristic of a spontaneous sketch, a common practice among artists of the time for capturing fleeting impressions of the world. The artwork showcases Rip's interest in capturing the essence of a scene, rather than a detailed, polished representation.
