Landschap twee bomen 1609 - 1642

"Landschap twee bomen" is a landscape etching by Dutch artist Pieter Bodding van Laer, created between 1609 and 1642. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, features a simple yet striking composition of two trees silhouetted against a distant landscape. The delicate lines and hatchings, characteristic of van Laer's style, capture the subtle nuances of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and atmospheric perspective. The etching's small size, measuring only 34 mm in height and 48 mm in width, further enhances the intimate and introspective nature of the piece.
