Landschap met een molen en kerktoren 1834 - 1903

This pencil sketch, titled "Landschap met een molen en kerktoren," was created by Dutch painter Johan Hendrik Weissenbruch sometime between 1834 and 1903. The piece, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a windmill and a church tower with a loose, gestural style, capturing the essence of the landscape rather than its exact details. This approach is typical of Weissenbruch's work, which often focused on atmospheric landscapes rendered in soft, atmospheric brushstrokes. Weissenbruch, known for his focus on Dutch rural scenes, uses this sketch to quickly capture the feeling of a traditional Dutch landscape.
