Riet 1890 - 1930

"Riet" is an etching by Dutch artist Philip Zilcken, created between 1890 and 1930. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a single, delicate stalk of reed with its long, thin leaves extending towards the top of the image. Zilcken's minimalist style, with its subtle lines and light tones, draws attention to the delicate beauty and intricate details of the natural world. This fine art print exemplifies the artist's talent for capturing the essence of natural forms in a stylized and expressive manner.
