Hengelaar bij boom en fuik c. 1613 - 1692

"Hengelaar bij boom en fuik" (c. 1613-1692) is an etching by Cornelis Bloemaert (1603-1684). The artwork portrays a young man standing in a landscape, holding a fishing rod. In the foreground, a wicker basket sits in the reeds beside a large tree. The scene is rendered in detail, with careful attention to the textures of the wicker basket, the rough bark of the tree, and the rippling water. This print is a characteristic example of Bloemaert's work, which often features figures engaged in everyday activities, often with a moral or allegorical dimension. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
