Zonnewijzer in een landschap met twee figuren 1682

This engraving, created by Dutch artist Arnold Houbraken in 1682, depicts a sundial in a landscape. Houbraken was known for his portraits and historical scenes, but he also produced numerous engravings, including this one. The engraving displays a classical sundial with the face of the sun at the center. It features a text that refers to the sundial as a symbol of the creator, highlighting the philosophical and religious beliefs of the time. This small-scale artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the artistic and intellectual landscape of the late 17th century.
