Rivierlandschap met ruiter en wandelaar met hond c. 1766

Franz Edmund Weirotter's "Rivierlandschap met ruiter en wandelaar met hond" (c. 1766), a delicate etching, depicts a serene landscape with a prominent river and a mountain range in the distance. The composition is defined by subtle lines and shades, characteristic of the Rococo period, creating a sense of tranquility. The foreground features a rider and a pedestrian with a dog, their figures small against the vastness of the scene. The artwork, currently in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Weirotter's mastery of etching and his keen observation of nature, providing viewers with a captivating glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the 18th century.
