"Boslandschap met figuren die rivier oversteken" (Landscape with Figures Crossing a River) is a 1774 print by Richard Earlom, a renowned British printmaker known for his mastery of mezzotint. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a serene riverside scene with figures crossing a bridge in the distance. Earlom's meticulous technique captures the soft light and subtle details of the landscape, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. The work exemplifies Earlom's skill in translating the painterly style of his contemporaries into the medium of printmaking, making it a valuable example of 18th-century printmaking in Britain.
