Jacob van der Heyden's 1608 etching, *Landschap met liefdespaar*, depicts a romantic couple seated beneath a tree in a landscape setting. The couple's intimate conversation is emphasized by the inscription in Dutch. The distant cityscape serves as a backdrop for the romantic scene. This 17th-century etching is an example of a genre known as "Landscapes with figures" and reveals the artistic and social interests of the Dutch Golden Age.
