Landschap met man bij een schutting 1796 - 1845

"Landschap met man bij een schutting" (Landscape with a man by a fence), a black and white etching by Dutch artist Anthony Oberman, is a simple yet charming depiction of a rural scene. Created sometime between 1796 and 1845, the artwork captures the essence of a peaceful countryside, with a man standing near a fence and a thatched-roof building in the background. The drawing style is loose and expressive, emphasizing the textures of the landscape and the trees, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The etching is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into Oberman's artistic vision and the daily life of the Dutch countryside in the early 19th century.
