Ontwerp voor een titelblad voor het gedenkboek der Keuzetentoonstelling v. Hollandse schilderkunst: koe staande bij een water voor knotwilgen c. 1869 - 1925

This pencil drawing by Antoon Derkinderen, created between 1869 and 1925, is a design for a title page for a commemorative book about Dutch painting. The composition features a cow standing near a pond with willow trees in the background. The artwork utilizes decorative elements, such as the stylized trees and the letter "W" in the lower left corner, which would have been part of the book's title. The image evokes a sense of rural tranquility and a connection to nature, a recurring theme in Dutch art. This design, now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Derkinderen's artistic skill in creating visually appealing and thematic illustrations.
