Twee jonge herders 1840 - 1841

"Twee jonge herders" (Two Young Shepherds) is a lithograph by Dutch artist Franciscus Bernardus Waanders, created between 1840 and 1841. The artwork depicts two young shepherds, one seated on a rock and the other kneeling, both gazing out into the distance. This detailed depiction of rural life and the figures' simple clothing and poses convey a sense of realism and quietude. The print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, measures 358 mm in height and 272 mm in width, capturing the essence of Waanders' style and his ability to capture the beauty of everyday scenes.
