Slanted tree and Eudia (original title), Landscape with fallen tree, boats and angler, print, printmaker: Willem Bastiaan Tholen (signed by artist), 1905, paper, etching, intaglio printmaking technique, height 162 mm x width 240 mm, sailing-ship, sailing-boat, fisherman, A horizontal sketch in sepia tones shows a riverside scene with a large tree leaning over the water, its thick trunk and many branches covered with clusters of leaves drawn in fine, curved strokes; a slender branch extends diagonally across the composition with textured bark. In the lower foreground, the bows of two small wooden boats are visible, one containing a woven basket and the other positioned beside a simple wooden post and plank structure. Grassy banks with tufts and reeds sit behind the boats, and a small, distant shoreline with a faint vertical pole rises from the water. The sky area above the tree is mostly empty, rendered in the same warm paper tone.
