Baadster stapt uit het water 1600 - 1647

"Baadster stapt uit het water," created between 1600 and 1647 by Moyses van Wtenbrouck, is a small etching depicting a nude woman emerging from a river. The woman's pose and the surrounding landscape are intricately detailed, showcasing the artist's mastery of the medium. The etching was likely intended for a private collection, reflecting the growing interest in nude studies and landscapes during the Baroque period. The composition is balanced, with the woman’s figure drawing the eye towards the river, while the dense foliage creates a sense of depth and mystery. This small yet impactful work embodies the artistry and aesthetic values of Dutch etching in the early 17th century.
