Een watermolen 1875 - 1876

"Een watermolen" is a black and white etching depicting a rural scene created by Johannes Arnoldus Boland between 1875 and 1876. The artwork depicts a watermill in the foreground, with a waterfall flowing from the millrace, with a picturesque countryside landscape behind it. The work utilizes cross-hatching, a technique used by printmakers to create the illusion of form and depth, to render the trees and buildings with impressive detail. This idyllic landscape reflects the genre of Dutch landscape painting, which often featured idealized scenes of nature, emphasizing the beauty of the countryside and the tranquility of rural life.
