En by 18th century

"En by" is an 18th-century etching by Danish artist B. Hauch, depicting a town in a landscape with a river in the foreground. The artist used hatching and cross-hatching techniques to create a sense of depth and detail in the buildings and the surrounding landscape. The etching is part of the collection at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark, and serves as a fascinating glimpse into the architecture and urban planning of the time. The small dimensions of the artwork, 103 mm high and 160 mm wide, contribute to its delicate charm.
