Landschap met herders achter kudde 1650 - 1695

This 17th-century etching by Nicolas Perelle depicts a pastoral landscape, a popular subject for artists of the period. Entitled "Landschap met herders achter kudde," the print shows a circular composition with prominent trees in the foreground and a view of a mountainous landscape beyond. The use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, with the delicate detail of the foliage contrasting with the more rugged forms of the mountains. The print is a testament to Perelle's mastery of the etching technique and his ability to capture the beauty of nature in a visually compelling manner.
