This drawing by Hendrik van der Straaten, also known as Hendrik van der Straeten the Younger, showcases a picturesque landscape with a shepherd resting beneath a tree. The artist, active in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, captured the beauty of nature with a delicate touch, using subtle shading to suggest depth and light. The scene, featuring a flock of sheep grazing in the foreground, evokes a sense of tranquility and pastoral peace. The drawing, titled "Hohe Felsen, links ruhender Schafhirte," translates to "High Rocks, a Shepherd Resting on the Left," providing further insight into the composition. This work, held in the Städel Museum, exemplifies van der Straaten's talent for depicting nature with artistic precision.
