Dutch Landscape 2
1873-1931
Etienne Bosch's 'Hollands landschap 2' captures a classic Dutch scene with a windmill standing tall against a sky filled with sweeping, energetic lines that suggest a blustery day. He uses scratchy, expressive marks to build up the dense texture of the thatched roofs and leafy trees on the right, giving the whole landscape a wonderfully breezy feel. The handwritten edition number '18/40' in the bottom corner reveals this is one of a limited set of prints, showcasing how impressionist artists loved capturing the fleeting atmosphere of the countryside rather than obsessing over perfect details.
