Remigius Adrianus Haanen's "Winterlandschap" (1849) depicts a snow-covered landscape with a winding road, a few figures, and bare trees reaching toward the sky. This black and white etching, measuring 286 mm by 250 mm, showcases Haanen's expertise in capturing the stark beauty of a winter scene, as well as the skill of an experienced printmaker. The work likely served as a representation of Dutch landscapes and the peaceful atmosphere of the winter season.
