Pad langs een korenveld c. 1840 - 1860

"Pad langs een korenveld" (Path along a cornfield) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Charles Rochussen, created between 1840 and 1860. It depicts a landscape scene, likely in the countryside, with the artist focusing on the outlines of trees and clouds reflected in a body of water, possibly a river or stream. This preliminary sketch, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a testament to Rochussen's meticulous observation of nature and his skill in capturing light and shadow.
