AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful authentic etching by Jakob Smits, Belgian and Dutch school, late 19th century
Original, rare etching by the renowned Dutch-Belgian master Jakob Smits, worldwide famed for his poetic and melancholic portrayal of the simple Kempish peasant life.
The artwork shows a atmospheric and typical Kempen village scene. In the foreground are seated children and rural figures by a cow and cart, with in the background a characteristic church and farm under a layered cloud sky. Smits masterfully captures here the calm, simplicity and depth of rural life.
• Signature: Bottom right, fully signed in pencil by the artist (Jakob Smits).
• Paper: Printed on high-quality handmade paper
• Print: Clear and deep plate margin visible.
• Paper dimensions: H 32.4 cm / W 25.1 cm
• Image dimensions (plate margin): 9.3 x 12.1 cm
Jakob Smits is regarded as one of the most important founders of pre-expressionism in Belgium. His graphic work and etchings are highly cherished by collectors. Early, hand-signed prints of this quality are rarely on the market.
