Gezicht op het dorp Schipluiden 1791 - 1793

This 1791-1793 etching, "Gezicht op het dorp Schipluiden", by Anna Catharina Brouwer, shows a charming Dutch village. Brouwer's detailed etching depicts Schipluiden, featuring a village church, traditional houses and a field with horses and figures. The etching is framed by a circular border with the inscription "Schipluiden" and "T' Dorf" (the village). The artwork is in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, and provides insight into the rural landscapes and towns of 18th century Netherlands. This work is a prime example of a "veduta", an artistic genre focused on realistic depictions of urban or rural landscapes.
