Landschap met water en een molen 1907

"Landschap met water en een molen" (Landscape with water and a mill), a 1907 pencil drawing by Dutch artist Willem Cornelis Rip, captures a serene scene of a windmill nestled amidst a tranquil landscape. The artist's signature loose, expressive style is evident in the gestural strokes that define the clouds, trees, and water. The composition, with a windmill silhouetted against the horizon, is a quintessential example of Rip's plein air approach to landscape painting, where he sought to capture the immediacy of nature. The drawing, measuring just 114 mm x 159 mm, showcases the artist's ability to convey a sense of vastness and atmosphere in a small format.
