Rustende onder een boom 1770 - 1825

"Rustende onder een boom" (Resting under a tree), a small etching created between 1770 and 1825 by Dutch artist Simon Andreas Krausz, depicts a solitary figure seated beneath a large tree. Krausz, known for his etchings and drawings, captures a simple, quiet scene, using hatching and cross-hatching techniques to suggest light and shadow. The composition is balanced, with the figure in the foreground providing a strong focal point against the backdrop of the tree and the horizon. This etching exemplifies the intimate, contemplative nature of Krausz's work, inviting viewers to reflect on the peaceful scene and the figure's quiet solitude.
