Berglandschap met reizigers 1874

"Berglandschap met reizigers" (Mountain Landscape with Travelers), a pencil sketch by Willem Cornelis Rip, depicts a mountainous landscape with travelers in the foreground. Created in 1874, the sketch captures the artist’s quick observation of the natural world with subtle lines and a focus on the atmospheric perspective. The travelers, rendered in simple strokes, highlight the scale of the towering mountains and the vastness of the landscape. This sketch, measuring 184 mm in height and 282 mm in width, exemplifies Rip’s talent for capturing scenic beauty in a fleeting moment.
