Nettenboeter in schuur 1847 - 1865

"Nettenboeter in schuur" (1847-1865) by Frederik Hendrik Weissenbruch is a black and white etching depicting a fisherman mending his nets inside a shed. The image captures the somber mood of the scene, characterized by the dim lighting and the solitary figure hunched over his work. Weissenbruch's attention to detail, particularly the depiction of the fishing net, is evident in this intricate and nuanced artwork, which is a fine example of the realist style that emerged in the Netherlands during the 19th century. The artwork is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum.
