De Delftsevaart bij het molentje bij nacht 1798 - 1837

Ernst Willem Jan Bagelaar's etching, "De Delftsevaart bij het molentje bij nacht," depicts a serene, moonlit scene of a canal in Delft, Netherlands. The composition focuses on a sailboat gliding through the water, illuminated by a full moon peeking through clouds. Silhouettes of trees line the banks, while the sky is awash with subtle detail. This small-scale artwork, measuring only 72mm x 72mm, captures the tranquility of a Dutch waterway at night, demonstrating Bagelaar's skill in etching. The print offers a glimpse into the romanticism of nature and the charm of Dutch landscape, as seen through the artist's eyes during the early 19th century.
