"Waterval en grot bij buitenplaats Sonsbeek" (Waterfall and Cave near Country House Sonsbeek) is a lithograph by Dutch artist Frederik Lodewijk Huygens. Created between 1812 and 1887, the artwork depicts a picturesque landscape featuring a waterfall cascading over rocks into a pool of water. The scene is framed by lush trees and greenery, with a few figures enjoying the idyllic setting. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and exemplifies Huygens' mastery of landscape representation. This print showcases the 19th-century fascination with nature and its serene beauty, a popular theme in Dutch Romanticism.
