Boerenhut bij maanlicht 1836 - 1913

"Boerenhut bij maanlicht" (1836-1913) is a detailed etching by Dutch artist Willem (I) Steelink. The artwork, a nighttime scene, depicts a small farmhouse with a snow-covered roof, illuminated by the moon through a canopy of bare trees. The composition's starkness, emphasized by the use of black and white, creates a sense of solitude and a tranquil atmosphere. The etching highlights Steelink's mastery of tonal variation, creating depth and texture in the moonlight-bathed landscape.
