Oosters paleis 1892 - 1921

"Oosters paleis" (Eastern Palace), a 1921 etching by Dutch artist Frans Hogerwaard, depicts a courtyard in the Middle East, showcasing his fascination with Eastern architecture. The work features a detailed and finely-rendered scene of a grand palace, with arches and doorways, and a group of people walking through the courtyard. Hogerwaard was known for his use of light and shadow in his etchings, creating a sense of atmosphere and depth. His work is characterized by a romantic and dreamlike quality, and "Oosters paleis" is a prime example of his style. The print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
