Landschap met bomen aan een waterkant c. 1846 - 1851

"Landschap met bomen aan een waterkant" is a pencil drawing by Willem Roelofs, created between 1846 and 1851. The drawing depicts a simple landscape scene, likely a Dutch landscape with a river and trees in the foreground, rendered with delicate lines and subtle shading. The work is a prime example of Roelofs' early style, characterized by his sensitive observation of nature and his ability to capture the essence of a place through precise detail and masterful use of light. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, where it provides a glimpse into the artistic development of this key figure in the Dutch landscape tradition.
