De ophaalbrug. Edam 1917

Wijnand Otto Jan Nieuwenkamp's 1917 etching, "De ophaalbrug. Edam," is a serene portrayal of a bridge over a canal in Edam, Netherlands. The composition emphasizes the tranquility of the scene, with a lone figure standing on the bridge and a small boat resting in the water. The artist's skilled use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, capturing the peaceful ambiance of the Dutch countryside. This artwork is a prime example of Nieuwenkamp's mastery of etching and his penchant for depicting everyday life in his native Netherlands.
