The Miller’s Cottage
Signed and dated 1929 in the bottom corner, this intricate etching captures a peaceful rural scene where nature seems to be hugging a thatched cottage. A massive, gnarled tree dominates the right side, its branches reaching out over the small house and the lush, overgrown bushes in the foreground. In the bottom right, a small boat rests by the water's edge, hinting at the quiet life of the miller who once lived here. The artist's meticulous line work brings every leaf and blade of grass to life, creating a sense of serene isolation.
