A Brook with a Grotto and a Boat (‘Het spelonkje’)
Summary
The boat in this shadowy grotto is hardly visible. The dark passage contrasts with the surroundings, which are laid down on the plate with a few sketchy lines. This etching seems unfinished; however, it is signed and dated and was frequently printed. It is noteworthy that Rembrandt chose this landscape to showcase his name so prominently.
