Landschap met overtoom 1875 - 1876

Johannes Arnoldus Boland's "Landschap met overtoom" (1875-1876) depicts a serene Dutch landscape with a winding river leading the viewer's eye through the composition. The artist's meticulous etching technique, with its detailed portrayal of trees, houses, and the cobbled path, creates a realistic and almost photographic sense of the scene. The inclusion of a church spire in the background reinforces the traditional, rural character of the subject matter, popular with Dutch artists of the time.
