Schuitje op een vijver met knotwilgen langs de oever c. 1878 - 1895

Henry Bosch’s etching, “Schuitje op een vijver met knotwilgen langs de oever,” depicts a small boat resting on a still pond. The boat is in the foreground, while in the background, a line of trees, likely pollarded willows, runs along the edge of the pond. The artist’s use of hatching and cross-hatching creates depth and texture in the composition, giving a sense of realism to the scene. The etching, which dates from 1878-1895, exemplifies Bosch’s mastery of the medium and showcases his attention to detail. The composition evokes a sense of peace and tranquility.
