This lithograph, "Abdij Rolduc" (1852) by Alexander Schaepkens, depicts the Rolduc Abbey in the Netherlands. The scene, viewed from a distance, shows the abbey complex nestled amongst rolling hills, with a winding river snaking through the landscape. Schaepkens was a renowned lithographer known for his detailed depictions of architecture and landscapes, evident in this beautiful portrayal of Rolduc Abbey. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the 19th-century landscape and architectural heritage of the Netherlands.
