Schetsboek met 38 bladen c. 1873

This is a sketchbook by the Dutch painter Johannes Bosboom, dating back to 1873. The sketchbook's cover is a worn brown leather and housed 38 sheets for Bosboom's sketches. It is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, showcasing Bosboom's artistic process and evolution through his sketches. The sketchbook, a small yet intimate object, offers a glimpse into the mind of one of the Netherlands' most prominent 19th-century landscape painters.
