Herderin Possibly 1600 - 1660

"Herderin," an etching by Moyses van Wtenbrouck, depicts a shepherdess tending to her flock in a wooded landscape. Created around 1600-1660, this small-scale print showcases the artist's skill in capturing the details of both human and animal figures. The shepherdess, seated gracefully, watches over her cow drinking from a stream, while a goat and a donkey graze nearby. Van Wtenbrouck's use of fine lines and delicate shading creates a sense of tranquility and naturalism in the scene, typical of the Dutch Golden Age.
