Landschappen met molens 1858

"Landschappen met molens" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Maria Vos, created in 1858. The work is composed of three distinct sketches depicting windmills in a landscape setting. Vos, known for her landscapes and genre scenes, captured the essence of the Dutch countryside in this detailed, yet delicate study, emphasizing the use of lines and shading to build depth and form. This work is an excellent example of Vos’s artistic talent and her ability to portray the beauty of nature in her distinctive style. The Rijksmuseum, where the drawing is housed, presents a unique opportunity to experience Vos's artistic process and appreciation for the Dutch landscape.
