jonge herder 1889

"Jonge Herder" (Young Shepherd) is a small medal created by Louis Eugêne Mouchon in 1889. The medal depicts a young shepherd sitting amongst a natural landscape, with a dog at his feet, a popular subject matter in art during the late 19th century. The meticulous detail and realistic portrayal of the shepherd and his environment are characteristic of Mouchon's style, a style known for its depiction of classical subjects. The small size of the medal makes it a delicate and intimate work of art, suitable for personal collection or as a gift.
