Het drogen van netten 1872 - 1944

"Het drogen van netten" (Drying Nets) is a watercolor painting by Frans Smissaert, created between 1872 and 1944. The painting depicts a group of figures in the distance, likely fishermen, drying nets on a verdant field, their small forms dwarfed by the vast, swirling clouds above. The use of muted tones, particularly pale blues and greens, contributes to the calm and atmospheric quality of the artwork, capturing the quiet serenity of the scene. This piece is part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
