Dame, zittend op een pier aan het water 1885

"Dame, zittend op een pier aan het water" is an 1885 etching by Danish artist Carl Bloch. The artwork depicts a solitary woman seated on a wooden pier overlooking a churning sea. Bloch's masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of tranquility and melancholic introspection. The woman's contemplative pose and the vastness of the sea evoke feelings of isolation and contemplation, making it a poignant exploration of human emotion. The etching's delicate details and the artist's signature style make it a compelling example of 19th-century realism.
