Twee mannen bij bosrand 1613 - 1695

"Twee mannen bij bosrand" (Two men at the edge of a forest), a 17th-century etching by Nicolas Perelle, depicts a picturesque landscape scene. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Perelle's mastery of detail, capturing the lush foliage, rolling hills, and a distant building. The two figures in the foreground, likely travelers or artists, add a sense of scale and human presence to the composition. This work exemplifies the popular genre of landscape art prevalent during the Dutch Golden Age.
