Klein Hoefblad c. 1900 - 1930

Richard Tepe, a Dutch photographer known for his landscapes and nature studies, captured this close-up view of a field of frost-covered plants. Taken sometime between 1900 and 1930, the photograph showcases Tepe's keen eye for detail and his ability to create a sense of tranquility through the delicate beauty of the natural world. The image is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum, a testament to its artistic merit and historical significance. The black and white tones emphasize the textural contrasts between the frosty plants and the surrounding grasses, creating a mesmerizing visual experience.
