Dukdalf bij Dordrecht 1884 - 1887

"Dukdalf bij Dordrecht" is an etching by Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande, a Dutch artist known for his detailed depictions of landscapes and seascapes. This artwork, created between 1884 and 1887, captures a solitary wooden post partially submerged in water. The post, a remnant of a former structure, stands against a backdrop of a distant city skyline and a cloudy sky. The artist's masterful use of etching techniques creates a sense of atmospheric depth and realism. The simple yet evocative composition invites the viewer to contemplate the passage of time and the enduring presence of nature. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
