Ontwerp voor behangschildering: Arcadisch landschap c. 1752 - 1819

This 18th century drawing by Jurriaan Andriessen depicts a design for a wallpaper panel depicting a picturesque Arcadian landscape. The drawing, held at the Rijksmuseum, is done in pen and ink with gray wash and features a gridded background, suggesting its function as a design template for wallpaper production. It features a flowing river, a bridge, a classical building, and idyllic trees and hills, creating a serene and idealized representation of nature, typical of the Arcadian ideal.
