This is an original etching titled "Port of Rotterdam," created by the Dutch artist Antoon Derkzen van Angeren. The work depicts a detailed and atmospheric harbor scene, characteristic of the industrial and maritime themes the artist frequently explored.
The etching is executed on paper and features a black-and-white composition with subtle gray tones, emphasizing the dynamism of the harbor and shipping. The work is signed in the lower right corner and dated 1928. The etching is framed in a simple wooden frame behind glass, which complements the historical character of the piece.
The artwork is in good condition, befitting its age. The paper shows slight, natural discoloration that contributes to the authentic appearance of this early twentieth-century print.
This etching is a valuable addition to a collection of maritime art or works from the early twentieth century. The piece comes into its own in a classic or industrial interior, where it adds a historical and narrative element to the space.
