Bomen en boomtoppen 1834 - 1903

"Bomen en boomtoppen" (Trees and Treetops) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Johan Hendrik Weissenbruch. This simple drawing of trees is a quick sketch likely completed during a plein air session, as Weissenbruch is known for his landscape paintings. It showcases his ability to capture the essence of a scene with minimal detail, emphasizing the interplay of light and shadow on the foliage. The work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into Weissenbruch's artistic process and the beauty he found in the everyday natural world.
