Straw-Thatched Hut with Landscape and Figures 1807 - 1809

Carl Wilhelm Kolbe's "Straw-Thatched Hut with Landscape and Figures" (1807-1809) is an etching that depicts a rural scene. The print showcases a thatched-roof cottage nestled amongst trees, with figures in the foreground. Kolbe's meticulous detail in capturing the texture of the thatched roof and the foliage surrounding the building creates a sense of depth and realism. The artwork, typical of the 19th-century romanticism movement, emphasizes the beauty of nature and the simplicity of rural life.
