Eenden, slapend tussen struiken aan de kant van het water 1864 - 1936

"Eenden, slapend tussen struiken aan de kant van het water" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jan van Essen, created between 1864 and 1936. It depicts a serene landscape scene with ducks resting amongst the bushes along the edge of a body of water. The loose, expressive lines and shading create a sense of movement and atmosphere, characteristic of van Essen's work. This small-scale study, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's approach to capturing natural details and the tranquility of the Dutch countryside.
