Schets van een landschap 1849 - 1917

"Schets van een landschap" is a delicate pencil sketch on paper by Dutch artist Matthijs Maris, created between 1849 and 1917. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a landscape scene with a focus on a central, dense cluster of trees rendered with a light touch. The sparse lines and minimal details evoke a sense of tranquility and introspection, characteristic of Maris's style. The sketch exemplifies his preference for subtle and atmospheric landscapes, a hallmark of his later works.
