Kaal landschap met op de achtergrond heuvels en bebossing 1849

"Kaal landschap met op de achtergrond heuvels en bebossing" is a detailed etching by César de Cock, created in 1849. The black and white print depicts a barren landscape with rolling hills and a forested area in the distance. De Cock's meticulous detail, especially in the foreground, creates a sense of depth and realism. The use of lines to depict texture and form is characteristic of etching. The composition highlights the stark beauty of the desolate landscape, a subject common in 19th-century Dutch art. This small print, measuring only 120 mm by 160 mm, is a testament to De Cock’s skill and his appreciation for the natural world.
