Rivierlandschap met molen en kerk bij maanlicht 1875 - 1913

This etching, titled "Rivierlandschap met molen en kerk bij maanlicht" (River Landscape with Mill and Church by Moonlight), was created by Belgian artist Charles Mertens between 1875 and 1913. The work depicts a serene nocturnal scene with a windmill and church silhouetted against a moonlit sky. The artist uses subtle lines and shading to convey the soft glow of the moonlight and the stillness of the water, capturing a melancholic atmosphere. The small size of the artwork, measuring just 147 mm in height and 91 mm in width, emphasizes the intimacy and tranquility of the subject.
