Een kalkoven bij een rivier after 1647

"Een kalkoven bij een rivier" (A Lime Kiln by a River) is an etching by Dutch artist Frederick Bloemaert, created after 1647. The print, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a picturesque landscape with a lime kiln nestled on a riverbank. It portrays a quiet rural scene with figures tending to the kiln and a small boat on the river, highlighting Bloemaert's skill in capturing the beauty of nature. The artist's precise lines and detailed depiction of the lime kiln demonstrate his keen observation of the everyday life in his time. This etching is a fine example of Bloemaert's mastery of the printmaking medium and his talent for capturing the serene atmosphere of the Dutch countryside.
