Krom Boomssloot te Amsterdam 1875 - 1923

This etching, "Krom Boomssloot te Amsterdam," by Dutch artist Willem Witsen, depicts a quiet, snow-covered Amsterdam street. The image shows a series of traditional brick houses, their facades shadowed in the winter light, and a small glimpse of a canal in the foreground. Witsen, known for his realistic portrayals of daily life, created this artwork between 1875 and 1923. Today, the piece is held in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to his contributions to Dutch art and his capturing of the beauty of his city.
