Drie schetsen met gezichten tussen Leiden en Den Haag 1811 - 1816

Robert Hills' "Drie schetsen met gezichten tussen Leiden en Den Haag" is a series of three sketches depicting the canal between Leiden and The Hague, created between 1811 and 1816. Hills, a prominent English landscape artist, uses a light touch to capture the serenity of the Dutch countryside. The sketches depict a range of perspectives, from distant views of the canal with trees and houses lining its banks, to close-ups of a windmill and a sailing boat. The use of graphite creates a delicate, almost ethereal feel, typical of Hills' style.
