Dorpsgezicht met vrouw en kind in de dorpsstraat 1640 - 1679

This etching, *Dorpsgezicht met vrouw en kind in de dorpsstraat* (Village View with Woman and Child in the Village Street), was created by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jan van de Cappelle between 1640 and 1679. The print depicts a serene village scene with a thatched-roof cottage and a woman and child strolling along the road. The fine detail and atmospheric perspective of the print are characteristic of van de Cappelle's works. Though he is primarily known for his paintings, this etching highlights his versatility and his ability to capture the essence of a Dutch village. The print's small size and the delicate lines of the etching provide an intimate view of daily life in a rural Dutch community.
