Landschap en een kop 1834 - 1903

This pencil sketch titled "Landschap en een kop" (Landscape and a Head) by Johan Hendrik Weissenbruch, is a quick and gestural study. The composition hints at a landscape, likely a Dutch river scene, with suggestive strokes capturing the water's reflection and a hint of trees. The drawing's focus, though, is on the small, simple outline of a head in the top right corner. The artist's masterful use of line, capturing the essence of the subject with minimal detail, exemplifies his unique style, characterized by atmospheric landscapes and a focus on the natural world. The sketch was created between 1834 and 1903, a period when Weissenbruch was honing his skills, and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
