Bomen aan een waterkant 1914 - 1916

"Bomen aan een waterkant" (Trees by a Waterfront) is a pencil sketch by Willem Cornelis Rip, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes. Created between 1914-1916, this quick study captures the essence of a waterfront scene with a few deft strokes. The sketch's small size (115 mm x 160 mm) underscores its informal nature, suggesting a moment of observation and artistic exploration. Rip's characteristic style, evident in the loose lines and delicate shading, allows the viewer to glimpse his artistic process and appreciate the subtle beauty of the natural world.
