Title:	Landscape Study with a Figure on Horseback
Artist:	Cats, Jacob (Altona, Holland, 1741 - Amsterdam, 1799)
Date:	1768
Medium:	Original Etching
Note:	Jacob Cats: A fine eighteenth century Dutch painter, etcher and designed of tapestries, Jacob Cats studied art under Abraham Starre and Pieter Louw, in Amsterdam. He gained his greatest fame for his landscape depictions, which many compared to the art of Berchem and Adriaan van de Velde, in its poetical rendering of nature. As an original etcher, Cats concentrated upon both views of Amsterdam and upon rural landscapes.
	Today the paintings and etchings of Jacob Cats may be seen at many international museums, including, the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, the University of Liege and the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC.
Source:	This original etching hails from a series of six miniature landscape views the artist created in 1768. It is amazing that within such a small space, Cats has depicted a charming scene with both a wealth of detail and atmospheric effects. This is the mark of a truly gifted artist and etcher.
