This etching by Johannes Arnoldus Boland, titled "Een herder met zijn schapen op de heide bij opkomend onweer" (A Shepherd with his Sheep on the Heath with an Approaching Thunderstorm) is a Dutch Romantic landscape artwork. The print, measuring 132 mm by 178 mm, depicts a shepherd guiding his flock across a grassy heath. The ominous sky, dominated by dark clouds, suggests an impending thunderstorm, creating a sense of drama and tension. The image exemplifies Boland's interest in capturing the beauty and power of nature, and his skill in depicting atmospheric effects, a prominent feature in Dutch Romantic art.
