Landschap met hengelaar 1778 - 1838

"Landschap met hengelaar" (Landscape with Angler), created by Anthonie van den Bos between 1778 and 1838, is a pen and ink drawing housed at the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a tranquil scene with a fisherman casting his line by a river, accompanied by his dog, under the shade of a large tree. This intimate portrayal of rural life, encased within a circular frame, exemplifies the Dutch tradition of landscape painting. The detailed yet delicate brushstrokes, characteristic of van den Bos, further enhance the sense of serenity and peace in the scene.
