Sébastien Leclerc I's "Constructie van een elfhoek in een cirkel met onderaan een landschap" is a 1669 etching that showcases the artist's skill in both geometric precision and picturesque landscape depiction. The print features a detailed construction of an hendecagon within a circle, demonstrating Leclerc's mastery of mathematical principles, a common theme in 17th-century art. The lower half of the composition presents a charming rural scene with a river, boats, trees, and a farmhouse, offering a counterpoint to the rigorous geometry above. This small-scale artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Leclerc's ability to harmonize scientific illustration with artistic expression.
