De herderin 1894 - 1959

"De Herderin" is a colorful, illustrative work created by the artist Gordinne. It's a charming visual narrative depicting a series of events related to a shepherdess, likely from a folk tale or children's story. The composition is divided into eight panels, each with its own scene and text, inviting the viewer to follow the story. It's a classic example of a genre of illustrated stories popular in the 19th and 20th centuries, often found in books or periodicals aimed at a younger audience. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, where it can be enjoyed as a vibrant example of visual storytelling in the Dutch tradition.
