Duinlandschap met schapen 1822 - 1899

"Duinlandschap met schapen" (Dune Landscape with Sheep) is a black and white etching by Dutch artist Simon van den Berg, housed in the Rijksmuseum. This small work, measuring 78 mm in height and 124 mm in width, depicts a pastoral scene with a flock of sheep grazing in a dune landscape. Van den Berg, known for his detailed landscape drawings, captures the subtle textures of the sand dunes and the relaxed postures of the sheep with delicate lines and subtle shading. The etching is a testament to his keen observation of nature and his skill in translating his observations onto paper.
