Theophil H. de Bock DUTCH: 1850-1904
NEAR THE DUNES
Height, 12½ inches; length, 23 inches
In the foreground is a rough tract of land near the edge of a wood, where trees have been felled and the bare trunks are lying on the grass. In the middle distance a single cottage, with whitewashed gable, stands near a rank of lofty trees which mark the corner of the forest, and beyond, in strong sunlight, is a row of sand dunes, forming an irregular skyline against soft summer clouds which cover the sky, the light of the brilliant sun being concentrated on a large cumulus in the middle of the composition.
Signed at the lower left, Th. de Bock.
