Bomen rond een plas te Groesbeek 1896 - 1897

"Bomen rond een plas te Groesbeek" (Trees Around a Pond at Groesbeek) is a pencil drawing on paper by Dutch artist Willem Cornelis Rip, created between 1896 and 1897. The small-scale work depicts a landscape scene, likely a quick study or sketch, with trees in a loose and expressive style. The use of short, gestural lines suggests a focus on capturing the essence of the subject rather than meticulous detail, characteristic of Rip's style. This sketch exemplifies the artist's preference for plein air painting and his fascination with the natural world.
