Bos met eikenbomen 1788 - 1805

Heinrich Theodor Wehle's "Bos met eikenbomen" (Wood with oak trees), an etching created between 1788 and 1805, depicts a serene woodland scene. The composition showcases a grove of majestic oak trees, their branches reaching towards the sky, with a path winding through the forest. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate etching lines that capture the textures of the bark, leaves, and the surrounding foliage. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the beauty and tranquility of the Dutch countryside during the late 18th century.
