Liggende geit en een herder met twee schapen 1671

This etching titled "Liggende geit en een herder met twee schapen" (Reclining Goat and a Shepherd with Two Sheep) by Johann Heinrich Roos (1631-1685) depicts a shepherd with a staff tending to his sheep in a bucolic setting. Roos is known for his detailed, realistic depictions of animals, and this etching is no exception. The shepherd's calm demeanor and the sheep's relaxed postures create a sense of peaceful coexistence between humans and animals. This etching is a fine example of Roos' mastery of animal anatomy and the art of etching, and is held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
