About the Item

Hand-Colored Lithgraph of a Dutch Landscape with Windmill and Rowboat* Description: This hand-colored litho beautifully captures a serene Dutch landscape, featuring a traditional windmill as the central element, surrounded by rustic buildings and grazing cows. The scene is set along a tranquil river, where two figures are depicted rowing a small boat in the foreground, adding a human touch to the idyllic rural setting. A distant bridge and soft, billowing clouds in the sky complete this picturesque composition. The lithograph technique provides a rich tonal range, creating depth and atmosphere while showcasing fine details in the windmill and reflections on the water. The hand-applied coloring enhances the natural beauty of the scene, with soft hues that evoke a calm and peaceful ambiance. Artistic and Historical Context: This piece likely dates to the mid-19th century, during a time when lithgraphs were highly regarded for their ability to capture the nuances of light and texture in landscape art. The focus on rural life and the harmony between humans and nature reflects the influence of Romanticism, a movement that celebrated the beauty of the natural world. Upon closer inspection of the details in these images it appears to be a hand-colored lithograph. Here's why: 1. Dot Texture: The close-up reveals a fine, granular dot-like pattern, characteristic of lithographic printing techniques, as opposed to the smooth tonal washes typical of aquatint. 2. Color Application: The precision of the hand-applied color aligns well with lithography, where hand-coloring often followed the printed base for enhancement. 3. Overall Style: The composition and style suggest it was intended for a broader audience, common for lithographs in the mid-19th century. Thus, this piece is more likely a hand-colored lithograph, possibly created in the 19th century by an artist like David Cox or someone influenced by him, as indicated by the "D. Cox" signature on the boat. Condition and Presentation: The litho is in excellent condition, with vibrant hand-coloring and no visible damage. It is elegantly presented in a cream matting board, which both protects the artwork and enhances its display quality. This artwork is a fine representation of 19th-century European landscape art, offering a timeless depiction of Dutch pastoral life and a beautiful addition to any collection.
