Boom in een veld c. 1889 - 1890

"Boom in een veld" (Tree in a Field) is an etching created by Dutch artist Willem de Zwart, circa 1889-1890. De Zwart was known for his landscape etchings, often featuring trees as the dominant subject, as seen in this work. The print depicts a single, gnarled tree in the foreground, with a farmhouse subtly visible in the distance. The artist’s skilled use of line and shading evokes a sense of depth and texture, capturing the beauty of a simple yet evocative rural scene. This etching is a prime example of de Zwart's attention to detail and his ability to convey the essence of nature through the medium of printmaking.
