Shepherdess with Sheep 1780 - 1815

Leendert Overbeek's "Shepherdess with Sheep" (1780-1815) is a painting that showcases a pastoral scene with a shepherdess tending to her flock in a wooded setting. The artwork features a dark background, with a moonlit sky, and a stream where the sheep are drinking. Overbeek's meticulous brushstrokes and use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and realism. This Dutch Golden Age-inspired work captures the tranquility of rural life and demonstrates Overbeek's skill in depicting nature.
