Windmolen, zeilboot en twee stillevens 1890 - 1946

"Windmolen, zeilboot en twee stillevens" is a preparatory sketch by Cornelis Vreedenburgh, a Dutch painter known for his landscape and seascape paintings. This artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. It is a preliminary study for a larger painting that likely depicts a windmill, a sailboat, and two still lifes. The artist has used a range of materials on paper to create this loose and gestural drawing, which captures the essence of the planned composition. The sketches are dynamic, with bold lines and a quick, expressive style. The use of annotations suggests a planning stage for a larger, more intricate painting, providing insight into Vreedenburgh's artistic process.
