Twee vissers 1887 - 1889

Sir Francis Seymour Haden's etching "Twee vissers" (Two Fishermen), completed between 1887 and 1889, depicts two figures fishing in a landscape setting. The composition focuses on the seated figure in the foreground, his hand resting on a fishing rod, while the second figure stands further back, their rod extending towards the water. The etching style of the piece showcases Haden's masterful use of lines and shading, creating a sense of depth and detail in the figures and the natural environment. This piece is a fine example of Haden's work, known for its realism and attention to detail, and is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
