Parallelle lijnen trekken door een gegeven punt met onderaan schermende mannen 1669

"Parallelle lijnen trekken door een gegeven punt met onderaan schermende mannen" is an etching by French artist Sébastien Leclerc I (1637-1714) from 1669. The etching depicts a geometrical diagram in which parallel lines are drawn through a given point, while below, three figures fence in a field. The scene is thought to represent a lesson in perspective, a concept that was of great interest to artists in the 17th century. The work is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
