Ameland 1902 - 1937

"Ameland" is a 1902-1937 etching by Dutch artist Frederik Hendrik Smit (1892-1937). The print depicts a Dutch village scene, likely in the island of Ameland, with a tall, slender church tower dominating the composition. The artist’s signature is visible in the bottom right corner. The etching’s fine lines, creating a sense of depth, are characteristic of Smit’s style, which focused on capturing the beauty of his native Dutch landscape. This print is a fine example of Smit's artistry, and it exemplifies his fascination with architectural subjects and rural scenes.
