Schetsboek met 55 bladen vervaardigd op de Veluwe en in Noord-Duitsland c. 1863

This is a sketch book created by Cornelis Springer, a Dutch painter known for his landscapes and genre scenes. This sketchbook, created around 1863, contains 55 pages filled with Springer's drawings and sketches, which likely depict the landscapes of the Veluwe and northern Germany. These sketches are a valuable insight into the artist's creative process and his visual observations of the world around him. The sketchbook, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artist's dedication to capturing the beauty of the natural world.
