"Heuvellandschap met herders bij een waterval" (Hill Landscape with Shepherds by a Waterfall), is an etching by Richard Houston. The print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a serene landscape scene with a waterfall cascading down a rocky cliff. The foreground features shepherds tending to their flock by the river while a mountainous backdrop completes the composition. Houston, known for his landscapes and pastoral scenes, created this work during his lifetime between 1745 and 1794. The print’s delicate detail and meticulous craftsmanship capture the tranquility of the setting and the daily life of the shepherds in a picturesque manner.
