Schetsboek met 27 bladen c. 1879

This is a sketchbook by Dutch artist Theo Hanrath, dating back to 1879. The black cover of the sketchbook is simple and unadorned, typical of the time. Hanrath, known for his landscapes and genre scenes, likely used this small, compact sketchbook for quick studies and sketches, as it was portable and convenient for working outdoors. The sketchbook serves as a valuable record of Hanrath's artistic process, offering insights into his creative development and artistic practice. The sketchbook, measuring 120 mm in height, 162 mm in width and 11 mm in thickness, is a testament to the importance of preparatory sketches for artists of the 19th century.
