Figuur bij bomen 1888 - 1934

"Figuur bij bomen" (Figure by Trees), an etching by Willem Adrianus Grondhout, depicts a solitary figure seated amongst a group of trees. The figure is rendered with subtle detail, their features obscured by shadow, while the trees are composed of a series of hatched lines suggesting their solidity and volume. The background features a distant cityscape, visible through the foliage. The artwork, created between 1888 and 1934, exemplifies Grondhout's mastery of etching and his ability to capture the quiet beauty of nature. It is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
