Bomen bij hek 1826

Adrianus van der Koogh’s “Bomen bij hek” is a detailed black and white engraving created in 1826. Depicting a serene landscape, the print showcases two birch trees, their branches gracefully drooping over a low fence in the foreground, while other trees and bushes line the background. This piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into 19th-century Dutch landscape art, demonstrating the artist's meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of light and shadow. The work highlights the beauty of nature and the artistic mastery of the Dutch Romanticism era.
