Haven 1911 - 1938

"Haven" is a black and white etching by Dutch artist Arend Hendriks, created between 1911 and 1938. The print depicts a scene of a harbor, with a stone pier jutting out into the water. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the cobblestone path and the many objects that are scattered across the scene. The overall impression of the scene is one of tranquility and solitude, with the only sign of life being the lone figure in the distance. "Haven," now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a powerful reminder of the importance of harbors and the role they play in our lives.
