"Bomen bij een hek" (Trees by a Fence), created around 1896 by Dutch artist Willem de Zwart, is a black and white etching depicting a serene woodland scene. The image showcases the artist's mastery of light and shadow, rendering the textured bark of the trees and the details of the rustic fence with remarkable accuracy. De Zwart's penchant for capturing the tranquility of nature is evident in this small-scale work, which invites viewers to appreciate the subtle beauty of a simple landscape.
