Huis aan een waterkant Possibly 1866 - 1929

"Huis aan een waterkant" (House on a waterfront) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Willem Cornelis Rip, created sometime between 1866 and 1929. This preliminary drawing captures a simple scene of a house nestled amongst trees, with a body of water and sky indicated in the background. Rip's loose, expressive lines convey a sense of immediacy and suggest the artist's quick observation of the landscape. The sketch offers a glimpse into Rip's working process as he captured the essence of a natural scene in a spontaneous manner.
