Schets van boerenhuizen aan het water 1872 - 1877

Willem de Haas Hemken's "Schets van boerenhuizen aan het water" (Sketch of Farmhouses by the Water) is a delicate pencil drawing created between 1872 and 1877. The artist, known for his landscape and cityscape sketches, captures a serene scene of a farmhouse partially obscured by a large tree, with a glimpse of a boat in the distance. The minimalist style and subtle details, including the thatched roof and fence, evoke a sense of quiet rural life. This sketch is a valuable example of de Haas Hemken's draftsmanship and his keen observation of Dutch landscapes.
