This title page, engraved by Reinier Vinkeles in 1809, depicts a rural scene with a house and figures in a landscape setting. The scene is framed by foliage and the setting sun shines over the water. This print, now in the Rijksmuseum, was intended as the title page for a book by Wilhelmus Kist about Eduard van Eikenhorst, his friends and housemates. Vinkeles, a Dutch engraver, was known for his meticulous detail and skill in reproducing the effects of light and shadow.
