"Landschap met twee vrouwen met kind en twee mannen" (Landscape with Two Women with Child and Two Men) is an 1817 etching by Dutch artist Pieter Bartholomeusz Barbiers (1772-1837). The artwork, which depicts five figures gathered in a pastoral setting, exemplifies the romantic landscape genre and its emphasis on nature and emotion. This small work, held in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Barbiers' detailed style and his ability to capture the delicate interplay of light and shadow.
