Lente 1765

"Lente" (Spring) is a 1765 etching by Harmanus Vinkeles, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. The print depicts a romantic scene with a young couple in a wooded landscape. The details are meticulous, with a deer, a dog, and a cupid in the sky adding to the idyllic setting. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the composition. "Lente" is a testament to Vinkeles' mastery of etching and his ability to capture the beauty of nature.
