Boerderij 1867 - 1890

"Boerderij," an etching by Dutch artist Philip Zilcken, depicts a simple farmhouse rendered in a dark, atmospheric style. Created between 1867 and 1890, the print captures a rural scene with an emphasis on light and shadow, showcasing Zilcken's mastery of this technique. The artwork is held in the Rijksmuseum and features a single doorway in the center, framed by a dark, dense foreground and a muted background, further enhancing the sense of depth and mystery.
