Visfuik aan een begroeide waterkant 1830 - 1878

Johannes Pieter van Wisselingh's "Visfuik aan een begroeide waterkant" (1830-1878) is a detailed etching depicting a tranquil Dutch landscape. The composition features a prominent, weathered fence post partially submerged in a river, set against a background of verdant foliage and a distant windmill. The artist's delicate, cross-hatched lines capture the subtle interplay of light and shadow, giving the scene an atmospheric depth. Van Wisselingh, known for his depictions of rural scenes, masterfully conveys the serenity and natural beauty of the Dutch countryside. This etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's keen observation and mastery of the etching technique.
