Huifkar in een heuvellandschap 1896 - 1897

This graphite drawing, "Huifkar in een heuvellandschap," by Willem Cornelis Rip was created between 1896 and 1897. The small-scale work, only 113 mm by 159 mm, depicts a simple scene: a hooded carriage, possibly drawn by a horse, against a backdrop of hills. Rip's use of light, loose strokes creates a sense of movement, as if the carriage is traversing a windy landscape. The drawing's simplicity and focus on capturing a fleeting moment in time are characteristic of Rip's artistic style.
