Landschap met twee Griekse vissers 1793 - 1835

François Joseph (II) Pfeiffer's "Landschap met twee Griekse vissers" is a small-scale (52 mm x 143 mm) etching dating from 1793 to 1835. The artwork depicts two Greek fishermen standing in a landscape, with one holding a fishing net and the other holding a spear. The scene is set against the backdrop of a partially obscured column, likely an ancient Greek ruin, suggesting the fishermen's connection to their heritage and occupation. Pfeiffer's use of delicate lines and shading contributes to the realism of the composition. This detailed etching provides a glimpse into daily life in Greece during the 18th and 19th centuries.
