Huizen aan een waterkant 1890 - 1946

"Huizen aan een waterkant" (Houses on a waterfront), a pencil sketch by Cornelis Vreedenburgh, depicts a simple scene of a waterfront, with a building, trees, and possibly a pier, drawn in a loose and gestural style. The work reflects Vreedenburgh's interest in capturing the essence of everyday scenes, focusing on the interplay of light and shadow. This piece is a quick study, suggesting a quick, almost impressionistic approach to capturing the fleeting beauty of the waterfront, housed in the Rijksmuseum.
