Schuit op een vaart 1867 - 1910

"Schuit op een vaart" is an etching by Dutch artist Etha Fles, created between 1867 and 1910. The print depicts a simple, yet evocative scene of a boat docked near a windmill. The composition is dominated by a shadowy, atmospheric landscape, with the boat and windmill appearing almost as silhouettes against the pale sky. Fles’s signature style is evident in the use of soft, delicate lines, creating a sense of tranquility and mystery. This small-scale work, measuring 160 mm by 238 mm, exemplifies Fles’s talent for capturing the beauty of everyday scenes in a minimalist manner.
