Eenden bij een sloot 1832 - 1897

"Eenden bij een sloot" (Ducks by a Ditch) is a black and white etching by Dutch artist Willem Roelofs, created between 1832 and 1897. The artwork depicts a serene landscape with a group of ducks clustered by a small body of water in the foreground. The composition features a prominent willow tree, its branches reaching out towards the sky. The etching, now in the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies Roelofs's mastery of depicting the tranquil beauty of the Dutch countryside.
