Boslandschap met beek en bomen op oever c. 1845 - 1892

Julius Jacobus van de Sande Bakhuyzen’s “Boslandschap met beek en bomen op oever” (Woodland Landscape with Stream and Trees on the Bank), c. 1845 - 1892, is a detailed etching that depicts a dense woodland scene with a stream running through it. The artist’s masterful use of line and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, inviting viewers to step into the cool, shady woods. This work is an excellent example of Bakhuyzen's skilled handling of the etching technique, which he used throughout his career to capture landscapes and natural settings. The print is currently held at the Rijksmuseum, and its small dimensions (110 mm x 158 mm) make it a compact but powerful representation of Bakhuyzen's artistic mastery.
