Brug over het water 1867 - 1890

"Brug over het water" (Bridge over the water) is an etching by Dutch artist Philip Zilcken, created between 1867 and 1890. The artwork depicts a bridge spanning a canal with a large tree to the left and two figures walking across. The etching's subtle lines and delicate shading create a sense of atmospheric depth, highlighting the bridge's silhouette against the light sky. It's a fine example of Zilcken's focus on everyday Dutch scenes and his mastery of the etching technique, offering a glimpse into the quiet beauty of rural life. This artwork is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, showcasing the artist's talent and his contribution to the artistic landscape of the Netherlands.
