Toren van de Sint Antoniuskerk te Mook Possibly 1896 - 1898

"Toren van de Sint Antoniuskerk te Mook" is a pencil sketch on paper by Dutch artist Willem Cornelis Rip, created sometime between 1896 and 1898. The drawing depicts a church tower, likely the tower of the Sint Antoniuskerk in Mook, the Netherlands, with a large tree to the right of the tower. Rip was a prolific artist who specialized in landscapes and architectural scenes, and his sketches often captured the atmosphere and character of his subjects. This sketch, with its loose, expressive lines, is a typical example of Rip's work. The artist's signature appears on the lower right corner, and it is likely that this drawing was part of a larger sketchbook. The drawing's small scale and its focus on the essential features of the subject suggest that it was a quick study or an informal observation rather than a finished composition.
