Gezelschap in een bosachtige omgeving c. 1630

Bartholomeus van Lochom's etching, *Gezelschap in een bosachtige omgeving*, depicts a group of figures in a wooded setting. The composition is framed by a decorative border with intricate scrollwork. The scene is likely a depiction of a social gathering or a leisure activity, as evidenced by the relaxed postures of the figures. This small-scale print, characteristic of Van Lochom's style, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the details of both figures and landscape. The print, currently held by the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable example of Dutch 17th-century printmaking and offers insight into the social and cultural life of the era.
