This 1695 etching by Erik Reitz depicts two scenes of the Sigtuna region of Sweden. The top scene shows a landscape with a group of figures standing near a bridge and a runestone. The bottom scene shows a boat sailing in a body of water, with a large rock formation visible in the background. Reitz’s work exemplifies 17th century Swedish landscape prints, often incorporating historical and architectural elements. This print could have been part of a book or portfolio of Swedish landscapes, providing a visual record of the country's natural beauty and cultural heritage.
