Landschaft mit Ruinen, vorne rechts ein Schafhirte 

Jan van Huysum's "Landschaft mit Ruinen, vorne rechts ein Schafhirte" is a delicate etching depicting a pastoral landscape. The scene features a distant view of a city and ruins amidst rolling hills and a winding path. A shepherd stands prominently in the foreground, his staff held aloft, guiding his flock. The composition is balanced with a large tree on the right, its branches reaching out towards the viewer. The etching’s intricate lines and delicate shading create a sense of tranquility and solitude, a hallmark of van Huysum's style. Currently housed at the Städel Museum, this artwork embodies the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with picturesque landscapes.
