The Edge of the Forest n.d.

"The Edge of the Forest" is an etching by Anthonie Waterloo, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes. The artwork depicts a serene woodland scene with a large tree dominating the foreground, while a distant village nestled on a hill adds depth to the composition. The intricate details in the foliage and the subtle shading create a sense of realism and tranquility. The etching's small dimensions (151 × 205 mm) suggest an intimate focus on the beauty of nature, a common theme in Waterloo's work. Currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, the artwork offers a glimpse into the artist's skillful portrayal of the natural world.
