Gezicht op Oostervecht 1719

"Gezicht op Oostervecht" (1719) by Daniël Stopendaal is a detailed etching depicting the village of Oostervecht in the Netherlands. Stopendaal, a prolific Dutch artist, captures the peaceful riverfront landscape with meticulous precision, showcasing the village's characteristic canals, a prominent house on the shore, and the surrounding trees. The inclusion of figures on the path at the right edge adds a human element to the scene, while the inscribed title, "OOSTERVECHT, de placts van een fraac Simkinson, near Seenen te nin," provides historical context. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the meticulous detail and realistic portrayal that defined Dutch landscape art in the early 18th century.
