Paard en wagen bij boerderij buiten Zwolle 1778 - 1838

Anthonie van den Bos's "Paard en wagen bij boerderij buiten Zwolle" (1778-1838) depicts a simple scene of a farmhouse and a horse-drawn cart in the Dutch countryside. Created with a detailed, almost photographic approach, the artist captures the textures of the thatch roof, the foliage, and the road. The image is reminiscent of the idyllic Dutch landscapes often seen in paintings of the Golden Age. This small etching is a beautiful example of van den Bos's work, which often focused on scenes of everyday life in the Netherlands.
