Landschap met kleine haven 1796 - 1849

"Landschap met kleine haven" (Landscape with small harbor) is an etching by Dutch artist Albertus Brondgeest. Created between 1796 and 1849, the piece depicts a tranquil harbor scene, showcasing Brondgeest’s skilled use of line and detail in capturing the essence of the Dutch landscape. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases a small harbor, a small building, boats and the grassy bank, all rendered with a focus on the subtle interplay of light and shadow. This artwork reflects Brondgeest's signature style, which blended a sense of realism with a delicate, almost poetic sensibility.
