Man op een brug over het water in een bos 1919

"Man op een brug over het water in een bos" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Willem Cornelis Rip, created in 1919. The sketch, likely a preliminary study, depicts a figure on a bridge, with the surrounding forest and water suggested through loose, gestural lines. Rip's work often explored the beauty of the natural world, and this sketch exemplifies his interest in capturing the essence of a scene through simplified forms. The quick, expressive lines are characteristic of his style, which blended realism with impressionistic tendencies.
