Landschap met twee figuren bij een beek 1613 - 1695

"Landschap met twee figuren bij een beek" (Landscape with Two Figures by a Stream) is an etching by Nicolas Perelle, created sometime between 1613 and 1695. The circular composition features a picturesque landscape with two figures, likely shepherds, resting near a stream. The scene is framed by a large tree, its branches reaching towards the sky, adding to the sense of peace and tranquility. The etching captures the beauty of nature, characteristic of Perelle's work, and showcases his skill in depicting detail and perspective. This work, now in the Rijksmuseum, measures just over 127 millimeters in width and height.
