Boom naast een huis 1890 - 1946

"Boom naast een huis" (Tree next to a house) is a pencil sketch on paper created between 1890 and 1946 by Dutch artist Cornelis Vreedenburgh (1880-1946). This simple yet expressive drawing, currently held at the Rijksmuseum, captures the essence of a rural landscape. It shows a solitary tree, its branches reaching towards the sky, beside a simple dwelling. The work exemplifies Vreedenburgh's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the tranquility of nature with minimal strokes.
