Schetsboek met 28 bladen 1891 - 1892

This is the cover of a sketchbook created by Dutch artist Willem Cornelis Rip between 1891 and 1892. The cover is a simple, maroon-colored material with a textured surface reminiscent of the popular marbled paper of the time. The sketchbook is bound in a dark, almost black fabric, suggesting Rip's preference for a more utilitarian approach to his artistic materials. Despite its simplicity, this sketchbook, with its worn and aged cover, hints at a wealth of creativity within its pages, offering insight into the artist’s creative process and inspirations.
