Herder met hond en schapen c. 1900 - 1930

"Herder met hond en schapen" (Shepherd with dog and sheep), a black and white photograph by Dutch artist Richard Tepe, captures a tranquil scene from the early 20th century. The image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a shepherd standing with his dog and flock of sheep in a wooded landscape. The composition is balanced, with the shepherd and sheep placed centrally, while the trees frame the scene and add depth. Tepe's work is known for its realistic portrayal of everyday life and its focus on the natural world. This photograph exemplifies his style and offers a glimpse into rural life in the Netherlands during this period.
