Wensbrief met een etend gezelschap in de buitenlucht en een herder 1738 - 1749

This 18th-century print, created by Jacobus (II) Rijckhoff, depicts a decorative oval frame made up of flowers and foliage. The upper portion features an idyllic landscape with a gate, water, and a small building in the background. The lower portion showcases a pastoral scene with people picnicking, a shepherd with a flock, and two houses. The scene is likely intended to inspire a sense of tranquility and domestic bliss, and its design may have been intended for a letter or other personal correspondence. Rijckhoff's work is a testament to the intricate details of Dutch decorative art.
