Hert in landschap 1838 - 1863

"Hert in landschap" (Deer in Landscape), created by Dutch artist Frederik Hendrik Weissenbruch between 1838 and 1863, is a lithograph depicting a stag standing in a shallow body of water. The piece showcases Weissenbruch's talent for rendering naturalistic detail with subtle tonal variations, highlighting the animal's imposing presence against the muted landscape. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this print offers a glimpse into Weissenbruch's early artistic development and his fascination with the natural world.
