Herder met schalmei 1840 - 1880

"Herder met schalmei" (Shepherd with a Shawm) is a pencil drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, a Dutch artist who lived from 1809 to 1881. Created sometime between 1840 and 1880, the work depicts a shepherd playing a shawm, a double-reed woodwind instrument, in a loose, expressive style. The drawing is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and offers a glimpse into the artist's practice of capturing everyday scenes.
