Stilleven met schenkkan en boeken Possibly 1914

Frans Everbag, a Dutch artist known for his masterful etchings, created this delicate still life titled "Stilleven met schenkkan en boeken" (Still Life with Jug and Books) in 1914. The artwork depicts a simple yet elegant composition featuring a ceramic pitcher with a unique design resting on a small plate atop a stack of books. Everbag’s use of light and shadow in the etching creates a sense of depth and realism, bringing the objects to life. His attention to detail is evident in the textured surfaces of the pitcher and books, as well as the subtle play of light across the scene. The work's composition and subject matter are typical of the Dutch tradition of still-life painting, while Everbag's masterful technique elevates this simple scene to a work of art.
