"Fontein op een plein in Rome" (Fountain on a Square in Rome) is a 17th-century etching by an anonymous artist, depicting a fountain in the Piazza della Trinità dei Monti in Rome, Italy. The etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a detailed view of the fountain, its surrounding buildings, and figures in the foreground, providing a glimpse into Roman life during this period. The inscription in Dutch translates to "Fountain, having a statue of a shell on the site of the Holy Trinity; on the side grows a meadow." The etching is a testament to the artistic documentation of Roman architecture and urban landscapes during the 17th century, capturing a specific moment in the city's history.
