Sint-Jansberg te Groesbeek 1896 - 1897

"Sint-Jansberg te Groesbeek" is a pencil sketch by Willem Cornelis Rip, a Dutch artist known for his landscape paintings. Created between 1896 and 1897, the sketch depicts a rural scene with a windmill, trees, and a small building. Rip’s loose, gestural style emphasizes the quick, spontaneous nature of this preliminary study, hinting at the artist’s keen observation of the landscape. The sketch offers a glimpse into the artistic process and demonstrates Rip's preference for capturing the essence of a scene through simple lines and shading.
