Ven, Boschmeer, print, Around the fen trees., printmaker: Gerarda Wilhelmina ten Hoet (signed by artist), 1867 - 1939, paper, lithography, lithography on gray paper, height 120 mm x width 197 mm, height 165 mm x width 257 mm, fen, Du. 'ven', A monochrome drawing of a landscape with a calm body of water in the foreground reflecting the shapes above, banks of grass and earth along the water, and a gently sloping terrain rising into a grove of trees. Tall, slender trees with textured foliage stand near the water and farther back in denser clusters, creating darker masses on both sides of the image. The sky above is lightly shaded with soft, horizontal strokes, and the overall scene is rendered with varied pencil or charcoal shading that emphasizes texture and contrast between the open water, grassy ground, and wooded areas.
