Scheepstimmerwerf met een kerk op de achtergrond 1848

This etching by Jean Théodore Joseph Linnig, entitled "Scheepstimmerwerf met een kerk op de achtergrond" (Shipyard with a church in the background), depicts a picturesque scene of a Dutch village. The artwork, which dates to 1848, showcases Linnig's mastery of detail in the depiction of the shipyard and its surroundings. The towering church in the background serves as a focal point, contrasting with the humble wooden houses and the figure of a man standing on a nearby path. Linnig's keen observation of the daily lives of the villagers is evident, creating a sense of realism that characterized his work.
