"Arcadisch landschap met herder bij waterval" (1713-1775) is a print by Dutch artist Louis Fabritius Dubourg (1693-1775), currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The etching depicts an idyllic pastoral scene of a shepherd resting beneath a large tree by a waterfall. The artist skillfully uses detailed linework to create a sense of depth and tranquility, capturing the beauty of the natural world in this romantic landscape. Dubourg's work exemplifies the 18th-century Dutch penchant for idyllic scenery and the fascination with the natural world, which continued into the Romanticism era.
