Waterput before 1913

"Waterput" is an etching by Dutch artist Anna Elisabeth Batelt, created before 1913. The artwork depicts a simple scene of a well in front of a brick building, with a wooden frame and a well bucket. The detailed hatching and cross-hatching technique used by the artist creates a sense of depth and texture, making the well appear almost three-dimensional. Batelt's signature, "Anf. Elis. Batelt," is visible in the lower right corner of the artwork. This etching is a fine example of Batelt's skilled use of line and light, typical of her artistic style.
