Man en vrouw met geiten 1819

Bartolomeo Pinelli's "Man en vrouw met geiten" (1819) depicts a rural scene of a man and woman tending to two goats in a rustic landscape. The drawing, executed in a detailed and meticulous style, showcases Pinelli's talent for capturing the essence of everyday life in 19th-century Italy. The composition, with its focus on the figures and their interaction with the animals, exudes a sense of tranquility and simplicity. The artwork's small scale, measuring 205 mm in height and 280 mm in width, adds to its intimate and charming nature. Pinelli, renowned for his illustrations of Italian folklore and daily life, imbued this piece with a sense of authenticity and warmth, making it a delightful example of his skill in portraying the human connection with animals and the natural world.
