Man met hond in een bos 1630 - 1663

Anthonie Waterloo's etching "Man met hond in een bos" (Man with a dog in a forest) from 1630-1663 is a beautiful example of 17th-century Dutch landscape art. It depicts a small figure and his dog walking through a wooded path. The artist’s meticulous detail in rendering the trees and foliage highlights the peacefulness of the scene, a common theme in his work. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, measures 112 mm in height and 143 mm in width, reflecting the popularity of the smaller, more intimate landscape prints of the time.
