Bosrand 1914 - 1916

"Bosrand" (1914-1916) is a graphite drawing by Dutch artist Willem Cornelis Rip. The work depicts a landscape with a dense forest, captured in a loose and expressive style. The artist's focus on capturing the essence of the natural world is evident in the gestural lines and sketchy details. Rip's drawing reflects the artistic trends of his time, particularly the influence of Impressionism and its emphasis on the fleeting and subjective nature of visual perception. The drawing's small size suggests that it was likely a private study or preparatory work for a larger composition.
