Herder bij havenstad 1613 - 1695

"Herder bij havenstad" is an etching by Nicolas Perelle, created between 1613 and 1695. This small, circular print depicts a picturesque harbor scene with a fortified town on the hillside, viewed from a wooded bank. The composition is typical of 17th-century Dutch landscape prints, with attention to detail and a sense of realism. The print is held in the Rijksmuseum and measures 99 mm in height and 96 mm in width. This etching is a fine example of Perelle's skill in capturing the beauty of the natural world, and is a testament to the popularity of landscape art in the Netherlands during this period.
