Twee molens aan een waterkant 1866 - 1922

This pencil sketch by Willem Cornelis Rip, titled "Twee molens aan een waterkant" (Two Mills on a Waterside), depicts a quick impression of a Dutch landscape with two windmills on a waterside. The artist was known for his expressive sketches, often capturing fleeting moments and atmospheric effects. The sketch is characterized by its loose, gestural lines, which suggest the movement of the wind and the water. This style is typical of Impressionism, an art movement that emerged in the late 19th century, emphasizing the subjective and fleeting aspects of reality.
