Landschap met bospad 1919

"Landschap met bospad" (Landscape with Forest Path), created in 1919 by Dutch artist Simon Moulijn, showcases a serene woodland scene. The drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, captures a winding path through a grove of trees, leading the viewer's eye toward a distant, hazy horizon. Moulijn, known for his meticulous draftsmanship, uses subtle tonal variations to depict the play of light and shadow on the forest floor and the dense foliage, evoking a sense of quiet contemplation. The composition, with its converging lines and receding perspective, emphasizes the depth and tranquility of the natural world.
