Boom en figuren 1876 - 1877

"Boom en figuren" is a pencil drawing on paper by Dutch artist Willem Cornelis Rip, created between 1876 and 1877. The sketch depicts a group of figures in a landscape, with a prominent tree branch dominating the composition. The loose, gestural lines of the drawing convey a sense of spontaneity and immediacy, characteristic of Rip's style. The artist was known for his expressive landscapes and figures, often capturing the essence of his subjects in simple, yet evocative strokes. This drawing is a testament to Rip's mastery of pencil as a medium, creating a visual dialogue between the natural world and the human presence within it.
