Heuvellandschap te Groesbeek Possibly 1896 - 1898

"Heuvellandschap te Groesbeek" is a landscape sketch by Dutch artist Willem Cornelis Rip, dated sometime between 1896 and 1898. Rendered in graphite on paper, this small work captures a view of a rolling landscape, likely near Groesbeek in the Netherlands. Rip, known for his landscapes and cityscapes, employed a loose, expressive style, characteristic of his later work, which captured the essence of the natural world in a simplified form. This sketch, likely a preliminary study, exemplifies Rip's keen observation and his ability to convey atmospheric effects with a few strokes.
