Bomen op een heuvel 1885

This etching, titled "Bomen op een heuvel" (Trees on a Hill) by Willem Witsen, depicts a minimalist landscape of three trees silhouetted against a cloudy sky. Created in 1885, the work showcases Witsen's signature style of capturing the essence of nature with simplified forms and a subtle use of light and shadow. The etching's subtle details and muted tones evoke a sense of tranquility, reflecting Witsen's interest in the Dutch landscape and his desire to convey its beauty through art. The artwork, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, is a small yet powerful example of Witsen's mastery of printmaking.
