Stenblok med et basrelief forestillende en hyrde, der hælder vand i et trug 1620 - 1683

Nicolaes Berchem's "Stenblok med et basrelief forestillende en hyrde, der hælder vand i et trug" (1620-1683) is a small etching depicting a shepherd pouring water into a trough for a group of animals. This work is a fine example of Berchem's skill in capturing the nuances of rural life. The shepherd's posture and the detailed portrayal of the animals create a sense of tranquility and harmony, a hallmark of his pastoral scenes. The artwork's inclusion in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection underscores its significance in the history of Dutch art.
