Zeilboten op het water 1914 - 1916

"Zeilboten op het water" is a pencil sketch by Willem Cornelis Rip, a Dutch painter known for his seascapes. Created between 1914 and 1916, this small, intimate artwork depicts sailboats on a body of water. Rip captures the essence of the scene with loose, gestural lines and a focus on light and atmosphere. The sailboats, barely defined, are enveloped in a soft, hazy light, suggesting a tranquil moment. This sketch is a testament to Rip's ability to translate a fleeting moment of nature into a simple yet powerful image.
