"Monument met een landschap met zonnewijzer" (Monument with a Landscape with a Sundial) is an etching by François Morellon La Cave created in 1733. The print depicts a sundial set in a landscape framed by a stone arch. The inscription "MIHI DUX ET REGULA CALLUM" (My guide and rule of life) and the text below suggest that the work is an allegory for the role of faith in guiding one's life. The print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
