Zomer 1625 - 1630

"Zomer," meaning "Summer" in Dutch, is an etching by Daniël van den Bremden, created between 1625 and 1630. The artwork depicts a rural scene, with a young woman carrying a basket of fruit and a man holding a bundle of wheat. A small dog appears to follow them. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees, a distant town, and a dramatic sky filled with clouds. The etching, currently in the Rijksmuseum, showcases van den Bremden's skill in capturing the beauty of everyday life in the Dutch Golden Age, highlighting the simplicity and hard work of rural life.
