A lovely framed aquatint by artist A. J. de Roos, signed and dated 1960.
This piece depicts the Kalmthout Heide nature reserve north of Antwerp, Belgium.
In the foreground is a detailed and textured conifer pine tree which frames the left side of the composition, a signature characteristic of the sandy soil vegetation found in Kalmthout. In the midground, a flat open plain stretches towards the horizon, with a low juniper bush settled on the right.
In the sky, the aquatint technique has been masterfully used to construct a dramatic dappled sky filled with dense cloud textures and stark contrasts, capturing a moody northern European day.
Framed simply in wood and with a high quality Perspex sheet, which prevents glare.
