Weiland met paard 1870 - 1887

"Weiland met paard" is an etching by Dutch artist Adriaan Pit, created between 1870 and 1887. This piece, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a tranquil landscape with a fallen horse lying in the foreground, surrounded by a row of bare trees. The etching's minimalist approach and subtle use of shading create a melancholic yet peaceful atmosphere, highlighting the beauty of nature even in its stillness.

The piece serves as a testament to the artist's ability to capture the quiet essence of the Dutch countryside.
