Herder op een hellende brug Possibly 1630 - 1717

"Herder op een hellende brug" (Shepherd on a Sloping Bridge), created by Dutch Golden Age artist Anthonie Waterloo (1610-1690), is a detailed etching depicting a picturesque landscape. The image shows a shepherd traversing a precarious bridge made of branches, crossing a narrow gorge spanned by a rocky outcropping. The scene is rendered in a precise and naturalistic style, typical of Waterloo's work, showcasing his skill in capturing the beauty of nature. This etching is a valuable example of Dutch landscape art and provides a glimpse into the pastoral life of the era. It can be seen at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
