1650
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Fisherman's Hut is a 1650 ink by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a quiet riverside scene. A small wooden hut sits under a big tree, with a boat tied to the bank nearby. Birds perch in the branches, and the water ripples gently. The background has a few distant buildings and a church spire, but the focus is on the hut and the natural details. The artist used fine lines to show texture, like the rough bark of the tree or the smooth water. This print is an etching, which means the image was carved into metal and then inked. Look up etching to see how artists create these detailed prints.
Allaert van Everdingen (Dutch pronunciation: ; bapt. 18 June 1621 – 8 November 1675 (buried)), was a Dutch Golden Age painter and printmaker in etching and mezzotint.
