Herders met vee bij een doorwaardbare plaats 1800 - 1864

Abraham Vinkeles's "Herders met vee bij een doorwaardbare plaats" (1800-1864) is a black and white etching depicting a pastoral scene of herders and cattle crossing a shallow river. The etching showcases Vinkeles's skill in capturing the natural world, with detailed representations of the animals, trees, and landscape. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the enduring appeal of Dutch landscape art. The etching's focus on the everyday activities of rural life speaks to the popularity of this genre in 19th-century Netherlands.
