GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The gestural lines and confident handling in this etching reflect Johan Barthold Jongkind’s interest in both contemporary French painting and the etchings of 17th-century Dutch artists such as Rembrandt van Rijn and Jacob van Ruisdael. The print appeared as the fourth in a series of six small etchings of Dutch scenes that Jongkind published in 1862 as Cahier de Six Eaux-fortes: Vues de Hollande.

Sara Woodbury, DMA Label copy (1990.128), April 2011.

FUN FACTS
- Auguste Delâtre (French, 1922-1907), the person Jongkind hired to print the series of etchings for Cahier de Six Eaux-fortes: Vues de Hollande, also printed works for many of his contemporaries. Additional examples of his technical skill are in DMA collection for Jean-François Millet's The Gleaners (c. 1855, 1977.10 and 1943.17), James Abbott McNeill Whistler's Fumette (c. 1857, 1956.82), and a riverside scene created by Charles François Daubigny (The Ford, 1865, 1958.60).
- See another example of Jongkind's preference for this subject in his watercolor, Rouen (1985.R.30).
