Object number1338-P
Label TextLike 1337-P, this landscape demonstrates Van Elten's attraction to the reeds and clumps of leafy foliage which border bodies of water. His treatment could range from a broad, dull summary stroke to the botanical precision shown here. Van Elten was known to make many such direct sketches; in the 1870 NAD Annual, he exhibited seven works entitled Study from Nature.
