Oude Hollumer boer 1925

Otto Hanrath's "Oude Hollumer boer" is a 1925 etching that depicts an old man sitting in a rustic interior. The man, clad in simple clothing and a cap, sits on a stool near a doorway, holding an object in his hands. The view outside the window reveals a glimpse of a small village nestled in a rural landscape. The artwork's expressive lines and the stark contrasts of light and shade create a sense of quiet solitude, highlighting the simplicity of rural life. Hanrath was known for his drawings and etchings, often depicting scenes from everyday life in the Netherlands. This piece is a prime example of his characteristic style, conveying a sense of realism and the beauty of ordinary moments.
