Title: ‘Het overtrekken der Franschen, over de rivier de Waal in den Jaare 1794.’ This rare original print shows: Jean-Charles Pichegru and his army, led by Daendels, crosses the frozen river Waal in 1794 (actually in 1795 near Zaltbommel). The ragged-looking army with bayonetted rifles marches through a frozen landscape, with cannons and supply train. Separately published master print. Our definition of master print is a seperately published print or series of prints, not being an illustrative print to a text. These can both be prints made by old masters (artists) or prints made by others (artists, engravers, etchers) after old masters.

He collaborated closely with Vinkeles and Ploos van Amstel. His daughter Anna Catharina Brouwer (1772-?) was also an engraver. Jan Anthonie Langendijk (1780-1818) was a painter and draughtsman, like his father Dirk Langendijk before him.
