Populieren 1832 - 1893

"Populieren" is an etching by Dutch artist Willem Roelofs, created between 1832 and 1893. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a serene landscape featuring a group of poplars silhouetted against a cloudy sky. The focus on the trees, with their dark outlines against a light background, reflects the typical aesthetics of 19th-century landscape art. This etching, measuring just 125 mm by 109 mm, showcases Roelofs' mastery of detail and his ability to convey atmospheric depth and tranquility through his precise lines.
