Landschap met molen c. 1643

François Collignon's "Landschap met molen" is a 17th-century etching depicting a windmill in a rural landscape. The artwork showcases the artist's talent for capturing the details of the natural world. This small-scale etching, measuring just 112 mm in height and 208 mm in width, offers a glimpse into the serene Dutch countryside of the era. The windmill stands prominently in the foreground, its sails catching the light, while figures and trees add to the scene's tranquility. This work is a fine example of 17th-century Dutch etching, often depicting everyday life, and held by the prestigious Rijksmuseum.
