This 1790 etching by Daniël Stopendaal, titled “Gezicht op de buitenplaats Vrederust aan de Vecht in Vreeland”, depicts a view of the Dutch village of Vreeland, specifically the estate of Vrederust, situated on the Vecht river. The image presents a detailed depiction of the village's architecture and landscape. It features a prominent church with a tall spire, buildings lining the river, and a bridge connecting both sides. The scene is further enhanced by the inclusion of boats on the river and people interacting within the village, contributing to a sense of daily life in 18th-century Netherlands. This work is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is an example of a Dutch "topographical view" print, a popular genre of art that documented specific places and landscapes.
