Bomen aan een waterkant 1834 - 1903

"Bomen aan een waterkant" is a pencil sketch by Johan Hendrik Weissenbruch, dating back to 1834-1903. This artwork is now housed at the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the artist's mastery of capturing the delicate details of nature. The sketch depicts the silhouette of trees, their branches extending towards the horizon, likely suggestive of a riverbank or water's edge, hence the title. Weissenbruch's approach, characterized by the use of light strokes and nuanced shading, reveals a focus on the interplay of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and atmospheric perspective.
