Ganzen bij het water 1887

"Ganzen bij het water" (Geese by the Water) is an 1887 etching by Dutch artist Elias Stark, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a serene landscape with a group of geese swimming in a lake, observed by a lone figure seated under a large tree. Stark’s masterful use of shading and detail creates a sense of tranquility and realism, making this etching a fine example of 19th-century Dutch landscape art.
