Landschap met onweerslucht 1889

This small-scale drawing by Willem Roelofs, titled "Landschap met onweerslucht" and created in 1889, depicts a Dutch landscape scene. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Roelofs' mastery of depicting atmospheric conditions. Through the use of light washes of watercolor, Roelofs captures the fleeting moment of a stormy sky, with the dark silhouette of trees and a distant farmhouse silhouetted against the clouds. The composition conveys a sense of quietude and solitude, typical of Roelofs' romantic landscape style.
