Steiger in Papendrecht 1889 - 1902

"Steiger in Papendrecht" is an etching by Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande, a Dutch artist known for his realist depictions of the Dutch landscape. Created between 1889 and 1902, the print showcases the artist's mastery of light and shadow. The scene depicts a pier extending into a still body of water, with a ship and a lamppost in the background. The atmospheric rendering of the sky and the reflection of light on the water creates a sense of tranquility and quietude, capturing the essence of Dutch maritime life. The etching is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
