Duinkust 1859 - 1891

"Duinkust" (Dune Coast) is a black and white etching by Dutch artist Elias Stark, depicting a coastal scene with a small building and a horse-drawn cart on a dirt road. The piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Stark's masterful handling of light and shadow, rendering the scene with a sense of quiet solitude. Stark was known for his detailed depictions of rural Dutch landscapes and his use of etching as a medium to capture the atmospheric qualities of his subjects.
