Studies 1849 - 1895

"Studies" is a collection of sketches by Dutch artist Willem Koekkoek. Created between 1849 and 1895, these preliminary drawings reveal the artist's process and his eye for detail. The faint lines and subtle shading in the sketches suggest the beginnings of larger, more elaborate paintings, hinting at the artist's skill in capturing the nuances of light and form. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, these intimate glimpses into Koekkoek's creative mind offer a unique perspective on the development of his artistic style.
