Landschap met een groep bomen c. 1884 - 1887

"Landschap met een groep bomen" (Landscape with a group of trees) is a pencil drawing by Willem Witsen, a Dutch painter and graphic artist. Created between 1884 and 1887, the artwork is a preliminary sketch, characterized by its loose and gestural lines, capturing the essence of a natural scene. The delicate lines depict a group of trees, perhaps in a forest, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The drawing exemplifies Witsen's interest in depicting the natural world in a simplified and expressive manner, showcasing his skill in capturing the subtle nuances of light and form. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, the sketch offers a glimpse into Witsen's creative process.
