Paarden in het water 1835 - 1886

"Paarden in het Water" (Horses in the Water), a print created between 1835 and 1886 by Dutch artist Dirk Jurriaan Sluyter, depicts a serene landscape with a group of horses wading in a shallow body of water. The print is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam. The scene is rendered in meticulous detail with a focus on the horses and their interaction with the water. The background is understated, but it suggests a rural setting. This print is an example of Sluyter's skill in capturing the beauty and tranquility of nature, and it offers a glimpse into the Dutch landscape of the 19th century.
