Ontmoeting in het bos 1837 - 1855

"Ontmoeting in het bos" (Encounter in the Forest) is a black and white lithograph by Karel Frederik Bombled, depicting a social encounter in a wooded setting. The artwork features a group of four figures, including a seated woman in a shawl, a woman in a dress offering flowers, and a man in formal attire, engaged in conversation. A man on horseback observes the scene, adding to the sense of a chance meeting. This 19th-century work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Bombled's skill in capturing social interactions within a picturesque landscape.
