Ophaalbrug te Reeuwijk Possibly 1866 - 1929

This pencil sketch, "Ophaalbrug te Reeuwijk" (Drawbridge at Reeuwijk), was created by Willem Cornelis Rip, a Dutch artist known for his landscape paintings. Dated between 1866 and 1929, the artwork depicts a simple, yet evocative, scene of a drawbridge. The loose, gestural lines and subtle shading characteristic of Rip's style are evident in this sketch, showcasing his skill in capturing the essence of a place with minimal detail.
