Boslandschap met vee en twee herders 1752 - 1819

"Boslandschap met vee en twee herders" is an anonymous Dutch drawing from the 18th century depicting a pastoral scene with cattle, sheep, and two shepherds in a wooded landscape. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings the natural world to life, with carefully rendered trees, foliage, and animals. The composition, featuring a light and airy atmosphere, evokes a sense of tranquility and peace typical of Dutch landscape art. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the 18th-century Dutch predilection for idyllic representations of the natural world.
