Jonas Zeuner (1727-1814) was born in Kassel and settled in Amsterdam around 1750 although his first recorded work dates from after 1770. He perfected techniques for engraving in gold and silver leaf, his jewel-like pictures being greatly admired in fashionable Dutch circles. Zeuner's oeuvre consists mainly of town views, largely of Amsterdam, Haarlem, Utrecht and Groningen. However, he also specialised in views of canal and harbour scenes as well as country houses, such as those on the Vecht and the Amstel near Amsterdam, generally based on engravings by the likes of Jan de Beyer (1703-1780), Simon Fokke (1712-1784) and Wiebrand Hendriks (1744-1831).
A group of works by Zeuner offered at Christie's, London, 10 December 2009, included similar pastoral scenes, lots 748 and 749, sold for £17,500 and £21,250 respectively.
