Melkkan bij een schuurtje 1810 - 1850

"Melkkan bij een schuurtje" (Milk Can by a Shed), created between 1810-1850 by Dutch artist Gerrit Lamberts (1776-1850), is a detailed etching depicting a rustic scene. The small drawing showcases a stone shed with a tiled roof partially hidden by a large tree, and in the foreground, a milk can rests on a wooden surface. The composition reflects Lamberts' penchant for capturing the quiet beauty of Dutch rural landscapes. This etching, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, demonstrates Lamberts' talent for capturing simple yet evocative moments in everyday life.
