Figuren op een pad bij de Scheveningse Bosjes 1876 - 1877

"Figuren op een pad bij de Scheveningse Bosjes" is a pencil sketch by Willem Cornelis Rip, completed between 1876 and 1877. This small-scale work depicts a path leading through a grove of trees, with three figures walking in the distance. Rip's loose and expressive style, evident in the depiction of the foliage, characterizes his approach to landscape sketching. The work is likely a preliminary study for a larger composition, highlighting the artist's process of capturing the essence of a scene through quick and dynamic lines. The inscription "Scheveningen Boschjes" indicates the location and serves as a record of Rip's visual exploration of the natural world.
