Lopende man 1810

"Lopende man" (Walking Man) is an etching by Dutch artist Andries Cornelis Krijger, created in 1810. The artwork depicts a lone figure walking along a path towards a rural farmhouse, set amidst a backdrop of trees and a fence. The detailed depiction of the landscape and the solitary figure evokes a sense of tranquility and solitude, characteristic of 19th-century Dutch landscape art. Krijger's mastery of etching is evident in the fine lines and shading that create a realistic and atmospheric depiction of the scene. The artwork is a small piece, measuring only 64 mm in height and 94 mm in width, but its impact is magnified by the intimate and melancholic mood it conveys.
