Vissers in een roeiboot op open water 1837

This etching, created by Egidius Linnig in 1837, depicts a serene scene of fishermen in a rowboat on open water. The minimalist lines of the etching capture the tranquility of the Dutch landscape, with a windmill and a small ship visible in the distance. This piece, held in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Linnig's skill in capturing the essence of everyday life, a common theme in his work. The etching's simplicity and delicate lines make it a compelling example of Dutch realism.
