Herders met vee doorwaden een beek 1638 - 1658

"Herders met vee doorwaden een beek" is an etching by Cornelis Visscher, a Dutch artist who was born in 1628 and died in 1658. This work, created between 1638 and 1658, depicts a group of herders guiding cattle through a stream. The composition is dynamic, with the figures and animals arranged in a diagonal line across the image. Visscher masterfully captures the movement of the animals and the figures' postures. The etching is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection and measures 195 mm in height and 271 mm in width.
