Boerderij met een rieten dak 1874 - 1875

Willem Cornelis Rip's "Boerderij met een rieten dak" (Farm with a thatched roof) is a pencil sketch capturing a simple rural scene. Dating to 1874-1875, the work showcases Rip's interest in the Dutch landscape. The thatched roof of the farmhouse, the surrounding trees, and a hint of a distant horizon create a sense of peaceful isolation, typical of Dutch landscape paintings. The drawing's delicate lines and subtle shading convey a sense of tranquility and serenity, offering a glimpse into the artist's eye for everyday life.
