The Fishermen 

This etching by Herman van Swanevelt, a Dutch painter and printmaker active in the 17th century, depicts a serene landscape scene. The viewer is presented with a rocky riverbank, partially obscured by a cluster of trees in the right foreground. The river flows toward a distant town, visible in the background. The work is characteristic of Swanevelt’s style, which blends elements of Italianate landscape with Dutch realism, resulting in a harmonious composition that emphasizes the beauty of nature. The work's title "The Fishermen" hints at the figures seen in the scene and the tranquil nature of the landscape.
