Portret van Abraham van Wielen / Landschap met herder / Rivierlandschap 1727 - 1769

This etching by Dutch artist Jan Palthe is a collection of three small scenes. At the top is a portrait of Abraham van Wielen, a man with a hat and a serious expression. Below that is a scene with a shepherd sitting on the ground and another shepherd standing in the distance. The last scene at the bottom shows a river with a boat in the foreground and other boats in the distance, with trees lining the riverbank. The etching is a beautiful example of Palthe's skill in capturing the details of everyday life.
