Titelblad met een herderspaar 1783

This drawing by Gerard van Nijmegen depicts a pastoral scene with a shepherd couple and their flock of sheep. Created in 1783, it showcases the artist's talent for detail in the depiction of the natural world. The title "Titelblad met een herderspaar" refers to the design's purpose as a title page for a publication. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the 18th-century Dutch artistic fascination with rural life and the beauty of the natural world.
