Dorp aan een vaart 1887 - 1952

Chris van der Windt’s etching, *Dorp aan een vaart* (Village by a Canal) (1887-1952), is a quiet and evocative depiction of a Dutch village. The work is characterized by a simple composition with a focus on the village’s architecture, a prominent church steeple visible in the background. The artist’s use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, conveying the village’s peaceful ambiance. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the etching offers a glimpse into the rural Dutch landscape as seen through van der Windt’s masterful technique.
