Kudde koeien met herderin met hark op de achterste koe gezeten 1883

This black and white etching, created in 1883 by Dutch artist Hans W. Schmidt, depicts a shepherdess leading a herd of cows. The shepherdess is seated on one of the cows, holding a rake. The scene takes place in a rural setting, likely in the Netherlands, where Schmidt was known for his realistic portrayals of pastoral life. The artist's signature appears in the lower right corner of the artwork, a testament to his meticulous craftsmanship. This print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the daily lives of rural communities in 19th-century Netherlands.
