Landschap met twee figuren in de schaduw van een heuvel 1841

"Landschap met twee figuren in de schaduw van een heuvel" (Landscape with two figures in the shadow of a hill) is a 1841 etching by Dutch artist Hendrik Jozef Franciscus van der Poorten. The print, currently at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a rural landscape with a small house and a hill, which casts a shadow over the two figures in the foreground. This artwork provides a glimpse into van der Poorten's interest in capturing the peaceful beauty of the Dutch countryside, a subject that was popular in the 19th century, and is an example of his meticulous detail and skillful use of light and shadow.
