Landschap met waterplas en een dorp op de achtergrond 1860 - 1910

This etching, "Landschap met waterplas en een dorp op de achtergrond," by Alfred Elsen, is a stunning example of Dutch landscape art. Created between 1860 and 1910, it features a serene scene with a small pond in the foreground, surrounded by trees and leading the viewer's eye to a distant village nestled in the background. The artist uses intricate lines and subtle shading to capture the soft light and delicate details of the natural world, evoking a sense of tranquility and peace. Today, this piece resides in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to Elsen's mastery of realism and his enduring legacy in Dutch art.
