Vaartgezicht met hoge bomen, een boerderijtje en een brug 1861 - 1904

Théophile de Bock's "Vaartgezicht met hoge bomen, een boerderijtje en een brug" (1861-1904) is a delicate ink drawing depicting a Dutch canal scene. Characterized by a loose, expressive style, the artwork showcases a tranquil waterway with towering trees, a modest farmhouse, and a bridge. The composition evokes a sense of peace and simplicity, typical of Dutch landscape painting. The artist's use of subtle washes and gestural lines creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the serene scene. This drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artistic sensibility of a prominent Dutch artist of the 19th century.
