Sea Piece with Three Figures to the Right 1621 - 1675

"Sea Piece with Three Figures to the Right" is an etching by Dutch Golden Age artist Allart van Everdingen. The piece depicts a seascape with rocky cliffs and a group of three figures standing in the foreground. It is a small piece, with the plate measuring only 7.2 x 10.8 cm and the sheet at 8 x 11.5 cm. This etching is a fine example of Everdingen's style, which is characterized by a detailed and realistic portrayal of nature. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching techniques to create shading and depth in the piece is evident. The etching is currently located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
