Keien voor een rotswand 1874 - 1878

Willem Cornelis Rip's "Keien voor een rotswand" (1874-1878), a pencil drawing, depicts a rocky landscape. The composition highlights the rough textures of the rocks in the foreground, contrasting with the smoother, more distant cliff face and trees. This drawing is an example of Rip's skill in capturing the details of natural formations, evident in the meticulous depiction of the rocks and their shadows. The inscription at the bottom suggests the drawing may have been created during a trip to the Tyrol, offering a glimpse into the artist's artistic process and travel sketches.
