Theodorus Johannes Wijnhoven-Hendriksen's "Wensbrief met een herder met schapen" (1812-1849) is a Dutch-language calligraphy piece depicting a shepherd with his flock in a pastoral landscape. The ornate script and decorative elements, including a blue ribbon and a gold-rimmed circular flourish, create a visually appealing composition. The scene reflects the idyllic beauty of the countryside and the simplicity of rural life, a common theme in Dutch art of the time. This artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
