Huizen in een landschap 1907

"Huizen in een landschap" (Houses in a Landscape) is a 1907 pencil drawing by Willem Cornelis Rip, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and cityscapes. This small, intimate sketch, measuring just 114 mm by 159 mm, captures a fleeting moment in a rural setting. The composition, dominated by a single tree, suggests a sense of peaceful solitude, while the loosely rendered lines and hazy details evoke the atmospheric qualities of a landscape bathed in the soft light of dawn or dusk. The work reflects Rip's affinity for capturing the essence of a scene through simple yet evocative brushstrokes.
