Twee dorpsgezichten 1700 - 1800

"Twee dorpsgezichten" is a pair of etchings created by the Dutch artist P. van der Laan between 1700 and 1800. The artwork depicts two scenes of Dutch villages, both with canals, water, and boats. In the top scene, a man rows a small boat through a canal lined with trees. The lower scene shows a small sailboat on a calm river and a man standing by a canal, possibly preparing to fish. These etchings offer a glimpse into Dutch village life in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
