Rivierlandschap met rotswand en herder 1730 - 1775

This etching, "Rivierlandschap met rotswand en herder", created by Johann Georg Hertel between 1730 and 1775, depicts a serene river landscape. The composition features a shepherd tending to his flock of goats in the foreground, while a rocky cliff and a small building provide a backdrop. The use of light and shadow, characteristic of Hertel's style, creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. This work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies the artist's masterful skill in representing the natural world.
