Enkhuizen 1888 - 1934

"Enkhuizen" is an etching by Willem Adrianus Grondhout, a Dutch artist known for his cityscapes and architectural scenes. Created between 1888 and 1934, this print depicts a detailed view of a gateway in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. Grondhout masterfully captures the textures of the brickwork and the intricate details of the wrought iron gate, highlighting the architectural charm of the Dutch town. The single figure in the foreground adds a human scale to the composition, inviting viewers to imagine the daily life of this historic place. This etching, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Grondhout's skill in representing the architectural beauty of his homeland through the art of etching.
