"Zomer" (Summer), a 1626 etching by Herman Breckerveld, is a detailed depiction of a summer scene with figures and a carriage traveling along a pathway. The etching has a strong sense of depth, showing the figures and carriage in the foreground and a landscape of trees and a distant town in the background. This artwork is considered a fine example of Dutch Golden Age etching and offers a glimpse into the lives and travel of 17th-century Dutch society.
