Putti en herder in landschap 1703

"Putti en herder in landschap" is a 1703 etching by Dutch artist Gilliam van der Gouwen (1703-1740). The etching, now in the Rijksmuseum, features two cherubs and a shepherd in a landscape setting. This is a title page illustration, depicting a scene from a 1703 book by Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft, an influential Dutch poet, playwright, and historian of the 17th century. The work is a fine example of the etching style of the Dutch Golden Age.
