Gezicht op besneeuwde huizen in Ede c. 1897

"Gezicht op besneeuwde huizen in Ede," a c. 1897 etching by Dutch artist Willem Witsen, depicts a serene winter scene of snow-covered houses in Ede, Netherlands. Witsen, known for his depictions of Dutch landscapes and rural life, captures the quiet beauty of the village, using delicate lines and subtle shading to portray the snow-laden rooftops and surrounding trees. This print, part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, exemplifies Witsen's mastery of etching, his ability to convey atmospheric depth, and his dedication to capturing the everyday life of the Dutch countryside.
