Bomenlaan langs een waterkant 1891 - 1892

This pencil sketch titled "Bomenlaan langs een waterkant" (Tree-lined Avenue Along a Waterway) was created by Willem Cornelis Rip between 1891 and 1892. Rip was a Dutch landscape artist known for his sketches and drawings capturing the beauty of nature. The drawing's loose lines and shading suggest a quick study, possibly made during an outdoor sketching session. The composition focuses on a cluster of trees along a body of water, with their branches and trunks rendered in delicate, expressive strokes. This artwork demonstrates Rip's ability to capture the essence of a scene with minimal detail, highlighting the artist's keen eye for natural forms.
