Schaapskooi 1806 - 1807

This etching, titled "Schaapskooi", was created by Dutch artist Frédéric Théodore Faber between 1806 and 1807. The artwork depicts a shepherd herding sheep out of a barn. Faber's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the sheep's wool and the rough-hewn wood of the barn. This work exemplifies Faber's skill in capturing the details of everyday life, a style popular in the early 19th century. The artwork's small size, typical of etchings, makes it a delicate and intimate piece.
