Bomen aan een waterkant c. 1879

"Bomen aan een waterkant" (Trees on a Waterfront), created circa 1879 by Dutch artist Theo Hanrath, is a pencil sketch that depicts a row of trees along a waterfront. The artist's use of shading and subtle lines evokes the quiet atmosphere of the scene. Hanrath was known for his naturalistic landscapes, and this work exemplifies his ability to capture the beauty of nature in a simple, yet expressive manner. While the sketch is unfinished, it offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his sensitivity to the natural world.
