Herders bij schapen op een veld 1675 - 1711

This etching by Dutch artist Pieter Schenk (1660-1711) depicts a serene landscape with herders and livestock. Created between 1675 and 1711, it showcases the artist's mastery of detail and light. The print, now in the Rijksmuseum, features a mountainous backdrop, a winding river, and a group of figures tending to their animals. Schenk's skillful use of lines and shading gives the scene a sense of depth and realism, characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age.
