Two Men in a Garden

Two images printed from one plate. On the left, a man with raised arms stands under a tree on a garden path. Behind him lies a formal garden with a terrace and carefully trimmed hedges. On the right, a landscape with a setting sun; in the distance, a farmer is plowing the land and a boat lies further on in the bay. In the foreground stands a pedestrian, seen from the back, gazing at the landscape. Numbered at the top: V. and VI. Subject headings within the Atlas of Customs and Manners: Customs and Manners in the Narrower Sense, The Dwelling, Old Dutch Garden Art. The 18th Century. Gardens in the Zaan region.
