"Twee figuren bij ruïne" (Two figures by a ruin) is an etching by Dutch artist Anthonie van den Bos. Created between 1778 and 1838, the small print depicts two figures standing near a crumbling, arched structure. The composition is dominated by the ruined building, with the figures appearing almost incidental, their small scale emphasizing the grandeur of the ruins. The intricate detail of the etching suggests a focus on the architectural beauty and decay, a popular subject in Romantic art. This piece can be viewed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
