"Gezichten op Burgfeld en Nassenhuben" (1721) by Jan Wandelaar is an etching, an engraving technique that uses acid to create the image on a metal plate, that depicts the estates of Burgfeld and Nassenhuben. The image features a central coat of arms, flanked by allegorical figures of a cherub and Death, holding a scythe. The coat of arms is surrounded by a decorative frame with draperies. The top half of the image is dominated by the coat of arms and its ornamentation. The lower half shows a realistic view of the estates. The image exemplifies the popularity of landscape and heraldic engravings during the 18th century. The artwork is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
