"Herder met hond in ovaal" is an etching by Dutch artist Françoise Jeanne Ridderbosch. It features a young shepherd holding a staff with a dog at his side, framed within an oval. This artwork is characteristic of Ridderbosch's known work, featuring the rural and pastoral scenes of her native Netherlands. The meticulous detail of the etching is evident in the rendering of the shepherd's clothing, the dog's fur, and the intricate lines that create a sense of depth and texture.
