"Gezicht op een landweg en een sloot" (View of a Country Road and a Ditch) is a print by Arie Ketting de Koningh, a Dutch artist born in 1815. This etching, created between 1822 and 1845, showcases a tranquil landscape typical of the Dutch countryside. The print depicts a winding road leading to a small village nestled amidst lush trees and a winding stream. The scene is rendered with meticulous detail, capturing the subtle light and shadows that define the Dutch landscape. This work is a prime example of the Romantic movement's fascination with nature's beauty and the idyllic serenity of rural life. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the print measures 220 mm in height and 260 mm in width.
