Rivierlandschap met herders en koeien 1679 - 1728

This etching, "Rivierlandschap met herders en koeien," was created by Dutch artist Johannes Gronsveld between 1679 and 1728. The artwork depicts a pastoral scene with a river flowing through a landscape dotted with hills and a rocky cliff. Cows and a shepherd are shown in the foreground, adding a sense of tranquility to the landscape. The etching, measuring just 148 mm by 197 mm, is a testament to Gronsveld's skill in capturing the beauty of the Dutch countryside. This piece is a fine example of 17th-century Dutch landscape art, a genre that often celebrated the natural world and rural life.
