Zeilboot op het water 1914 - 1916

"Zeilboot op het water" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Willem Cornelis Rip, created between 1914 and 1916. The small-scale drawing (115 mm x 160 mm) depicts a simple landscape scene of a sailboat on the water under a cloudy sky. Rip is known for his landscapes and seascapes, and this drawing is characteristic of his loose and expressive style. It likely represents a quick sketch of the artist's observations from nature. The drawing’s loose, sketch-like nature and simple subject matter are indicative of Rip’s interest in capturing the essence of his surroundings, rather than creating a highly finished work.
