Water 1618 - 1655

This etching, titled "Water," was created by Flemish artist Cornelis Schut between 1618 and 1655. The artwork depicts a young boy, possibly a putto, sitting by the water's edge. He holds a fishing rod and a fish in his hand, while a wicker basket sits behind him. The scene is framed by tall reeds and grasses, adding a sense of depth to the composition. This work is part of a series of etchings depicting the elements, which highlights Schut's mastery of this technique and his ability to capture detail and movement in his artwork. It can be found today at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
