Wandelend paar vergezeld door putti 1708 - 1780

"Wandelend paar vergezeld door putti" (Walking Couple Accompanied by Putti) is an etching by Jacob Houbraken, a Dutch artist who lived from 1698 to 1780. Created between 1708 and 1780, this artwork is a fine example of the Rococo period's penchant for elaborate ornamentation. The etching depicts a couple walking through a lush landscape adorned with trees and a classical building in the background. Two cherubs (putti) follow them, playfully scattering flowers. The ornate frame, characteristic of Rococo art, adds to the intricate and whimsical nature of the scene. This print is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, and is a testament to the artistic mastery of Jacob Houbraken during his lifetime.
