Landschap met figuren bij een brug 1849

"Landschap met figuren bij een brug" (Landscape with Figures at a Bridge), an etching created in 1849 by Dutch artist Remigius Adrianus Haanen, depicts a tranquil rural scene. The etching showcases Haanen's mastery of detail, evident in the delicate lines that define the trees, bridge, and figures. The scene's muted tones and soft light create a sense of serenity, characteristic of 19th-century Romanticism. The work's small scale (135 mm x 212 mm) reflects its intimate, introspective nature, inviting viewers to engage with the peaceful landscape and its inhabitants.
