Studie van daken en bomen c. 1878 - 1885

Gerard Jan Bos's "Studie van daken en bomen" is an etching that depicts a view of rooftops and trees. The composition is framed by a roof in the foreground, with a tall chimney and several trees visible in the distance. Bos's use of tonal values creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting the contrast between the light sky and the darker forms of the buildings and vegetation. Created between 1878 and 1885, the work demonstrates the artist's mastery of etching technique and his interest in capturing everyday scenes.
