Winterlandschap 1782 - 1825

Jacob van Kouwenhoven's "Winterlandschap" is a black and white etching depicting a winter scene in the Netherlands. Dated between 1782 and 1825, the print showcases a picturesque bridge under a snow-covered thatched roof house, with smoke rising from the chimney. The composition emphasizes the stillness of the winter landscape, with bare trees and figures silhouetted against the snowy ground. Kouwenhoven, known for his detailed landscapes, skillfully uses light and shadow to create a sense of depth and atmosphere, characteristic of the Dutch Romantic period.
