Twee figuren op een boot 1860 - 1907

"Twee figuren op een boot" is an etching by Belgian artist Theodoor Verstraete, created between 1860 and 1907. The print, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts two figures in a small boat, with a village skyline in the background. Verstraete, known for his landscapes and genre scenes, captured the quiet serenity of the scene through detailed, realistic lines and subtle shading. The etching's small size (164 mm x 220 mm) adds to its intimate feel, inviting viewers to contemplate the everyday lives of the boaters.
