This sketchbook, created by Dutch artist Cornelis Vreedenburgh between 1890 and 1946, is a testament to his creative process. The worn, textured cover reveals the sketchbook's long and varied history, reflecting the artist's dedicated practice and the passage of time. The small, portable size of the sketchbook, housed in the Rijksmuseum, speaks to Vreedenburgh's artistic mobility, likely used for capturing inspiration and ideas in various locations and settings.
