Sloot c. 1944 - 1990

"Sloot" is a black and white etching by Dutch artist Kees Stoop, dating from c. 1944-1990. The artwork depicts a rural landscape, with a meandering ditch or "sloot" in the foreground, a line of trees in the background, and sparse vegetation in the surrounding area. The piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies Stoop's artistic style, which often focused on the subtleties of Dutch landscapes. The etching's minimalist approach captures the serene beauty of the natural world.
