"Heuvellandschap met kasteel en rustende reizigers" (Hill Landscape with Castle and Resting Travelers) is an etching by Carel Frederik (I) Bendorp, created in 1769. The artwork depicts a picturesque Dutch landscape with a castle in the background and two figures resting under a large tree in the foreground. This etching captures the serenity of nature and provides a glimpse into the idyllic countryside of 18th-century Netherlands. The piece is a fine example of Bendorp's skill in representing the delicate details of the natural world. The artwork is currently held in the Rijksmuseum.
