More about this artwork
On our gallery website, we proudly present "Man met drie paarden in een landschap" (Man with Three Horses in a Landscape), a masterful etching by Dutch artist Willem Pothast, dated on or before 1910. This evocative piece captures a timeless, pastoral scene wherein a lone figure tends to three horses amidst a rustic landscape.Pothast's intricate work extends deep into the scene, where linear etchings evoke the subtle textures of the land and sky. The artist skillfully uses varied strokes to convey the density of the grass and the foliage of sparse trees, which are silhouetted against an expansive sky. A single, bright moon casts a gentle glow, highlighting the contours of the hills and the serene figures within the composition.The juxtaposition of the calm, pastoral setting with the diligent human element ignites a narrative of harmony between man and nature. Pothast’s composition invites viewers to delve into a tranquil world, feeling the quietude and the enduring bond between the keeper and his horses.
