Plate 7: two figures at right about to cross a stone bridge, a fisherman in the foreground, from 'Landscapes in the manner of Gaspar Dughet' 1695 - 1730

This etching, "Plate 7: two figures at right about to cross a stone bridge, a fisherman in the foreground, from 'Landscapes in the manner of Gaspar Dughet'", is a work by German artist Franz Joachim Beich, dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. Inspired by the Italian painter Gaspard Dughet (known as Gaspard Poussin), the etching depicts a peaceful landscape with a stone bridge over a river, a lone fisherman in the foreground, and figures crossing the bridge. Beich, known for his masterful use of line and light, creates a sense of depth and tranquility in this picturesque scene. This print, a testament to Beich's technical skill and appreciation for the Italian landscape tradition, is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
