Herders waden met kudde koeien door beek 1643 - 1666

This etching, titled "Herders waden met kudde koeien door beek" ("Herds Wading with a Herd of Cows through a Stream"), was created by Dancker Danckerts between 1643 and 1666. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a group of figures guiding cattle through a shallow stream. The detailed rendering of the figures and animals, as well as the atmospheric landscape, is characteristic of Danckerts' work, which often featured pastoral scenes. The composition showcases the artist's skill in capturing movement and light, creating a sense of realism and tranquility in this rural scene.
