Boerderij bij Velp 1874 - 1878

This pencil drawing, titled "Boerderij bij Velp," by Willem Cornelis Rip, depicts a simple farmhouse nestled amidst a verdant landscape. The artist's delicate lines capture the rustic charm of the scene, emphasizing the thatched roof and the rough-hewn walls of the dwelling. Created between 1874 and 1878, this work showcases Rip's talent for rendering natural details and imbuing his landscapes with a sense of tranquility. The drawing's small size and intimate subject matter suggest a personal observation, possibly a sketch made during a plein air session.
