Gezicht op Jaap Hannes 1658 - 1693

Johannes de Ram’s etching, “Gezicht op Jaap Hannes, buiten Amsterdam,” depicts a rural landscape scene with a canal running through the center. The canal leads to a small village in the distance, with a church spire barely visible. Two figures, one carrying a large pack, walk along a path on the left side of the canal, while a man, woman, and a donkey pulling a cart walk on the right side. This 17th-century work is an example of Dutch Golden Age landscape art and is held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
