Studie 1896 - 1897

"Studie" is a small-scale pencil drawing by Dutch artist Willem Cornelis Rip, executed between 1896 and 1897. The drawing depicts a cluster of trees, likely a study for a larger composition. Rip's loose and gestural lines capture the essence of the subject, creating a sense of atmospheric depth and suggesting a fleeting glimpse of the natural world. This intimate study exemplifies Rip's interest in capturing the essence of nature through quick, expressive sketches, a hallmark of his artistic practice.
