Houten huis en bomen aan een sloot 1867 - 1890

This etching, titled "Houten huis en bomen aan een sloot" ("Wooden house and trees by a ditch"), was created by Dutch artist Philip Zilcken between 1867 and 1890. The artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, depicts a simple rural scene in a muted palette of grays and browns. The composition features a small wooden house nestled amongst trees, with a narrow ditch winding its way through the foreground. Zilcken, known for his evocative landscapes, captures the quiet atmosphere of the Dutch countryside in this delicate and atmospheric etching.
