Visser op vlonder 1781 - 1822

"Visser op vlonder" (Fisherman on a Plank), a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Hermanus Fock, depicts a man fishing from a wooden platform. Created between 1781 and 1822, the drawing showcases Fock's attention to detail in capturing the simple yet evocative scene. The fisherman, standing by a rustic gate, leans against the fence with his rod in hand, while a bucket sits nearby. The background features a tranquil landscape with a small village, highlighting the idyllic nature of the scene. This intimate portrayal of everyday life in the Dutch countryside exemplifies Fock's talent for capturing the essence of rural life.
