Figuur met een roeiboot aan een waterkant bij Amersfoort 1895 - 1899

Willem Cornelis Rip, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and cityscapes, created this pencil sketch titled "Figuur met een roeiboot aan een waterkant bij Amersfoort" sometime between 1895 and 1899. The sketch, measuring just 104 mm by 179 mm, depicts a figure in a rowing boat on a waterfront near the Dutch city of Amersfoort. Rip's loose and gestural lines capture the essence of the scene, with a focus on the interplay of light and shadow. Though a small-scale work, it reveals Rip's keen observation of his surroundings and his ability to convey a sense of place through subtle details.
