"Gezicht op het dorp Shepperton" (A View of Shepperton) is a 1752 hand-colored etching by the renowned English artist John Boydell. The artwork, depicting a picturesque village setting on the River Thames, exemplifies the popular 18th-century genre of topographical prints. Boydell, known for his masterful portrayal of landscapes and architectural details, captures the serenity of the English countryside. The print showcases a detailed view of the village of Shepperton, with its church, houses, and surrounding trees. The viewer is drawn to the peaceful scene of boats and figures along the riverbank. Today, "Gezicht op het dorp Shepperton" is housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
