Twee figuren voor een gebouw met een rieten dak 1830 - 1878

This etching, created by Johannes Pieter van Wisselingh between 1830 and 1878, depicts a rural scene with two figures sitting in front of a thatched-roof building. The composition is dominated by the building, set against a backdrop of a windmill in the distance and a sky filled with clouds. The artist’s skillful use of hatching and cross-hatching to create tonal variations adds depth and texture to the scene, reflecting the characteristic style of Dutch Romanticism. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the daily life and landscapes of the Dutch countryside.
