Boerderij aan een waterkant 1876 - 1877

"Boerderij aan een waterkant" (Farm by the Water) is a pencil drawing by Willem Cornelis Rip, created between 1876 and 1877. The sketch depicts a simple farmhouse with a thatched roof and a wooden fence, situated on a small body of water. The building's wooden siding is clearly rendered, with a single window visible. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the portrayal of the surrounding trees and the water's surface. This small-scale drawing showcases Rip's ability to capture the essence of a rural scene through delicate lines and subtle shading, reflecting the artistic trends of the late 19th century.
