Landschap met boerderijen bij avond 1860 - 1910

"Landschap met boerderijen bij avond" (Landscape with Farmsteads at Evening) is a print created by Dutch artist Alfred Elsen between 1860 and 1910. The artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum collection, features a serene and melancholic depiction of a rural landscape, likely in the Netherlands, illuminated by the soft glow of a setting sun. The small-scale etching, measuring 181 mm x 308 mm, showcases Elsen's meticulous attention to detail, particularly evident in the intricate rendering of the trees and buildings. The print evokes a sense of peace and tranquility, inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty of the natural world, a theme prevalent in Elsen's later works.
