"Landschap met reizigers bij een waterval" (Landscape with Travelers near a Waterfall) is an etching by Jean Moyreau from 1734. Depicting a picturesque scene, the artwork features a group of travelers resting by a cascading waterfall. The scene is set amidst a mountainous landscape, with a small bridge and a building perched atop a rocky outcrop. The etching is a fine example of the Dutch 18th century Rococo style, with its emphasis on natural beauty, whimsical details, and delicate light and shadow. The etching was likely created for a private collector, as it was part of a series of prints based on paintings by the artist, Pieter Woetius. This etching is a testament to Moyreau's skill as an engraver, capturing the natural beauty of Woetius’s original painting.
