Waterrad en studies 1866 - 1922

"Waterrad en studies" is a pencil sketch created by Willem Cornelis Rip, a Dutch painter and graphic artist, sometime between 1866 and 1922. The artwork depicts a water wheel, possibly an industrial mill, and a study of foliage on the right side of the paper. The drawing's rough strokes and lack of detail suggest it was a preliminary study for a larger artwork, showcasing Rip's interest in capturing the dynamism of machinery and the natural world. As a study, it is a glimpse into the artist's creative process, offering insight into the development of his more finished works.
