Landschap met rustende herder en vier koeien die een rivier oversteken Possibly 1775

This print, "Landschap met rustende herder en vier koeien die een rivier oversteken", is a work by Richard Earlom. The print is an engraving depicting a pastoral landscape scene with a shepherd resting by a river. Four cows are crossing the water, and a bridge in the distance. This romantic landscape shows the influence of Claude Lorrain, an 17th century painter known for his idealized landscape paintings. Earlom was renowned for his skill in mezzotint, a technique where the artist uses a roughened plate to create areas of tonal variation. The image is likely from 1775 and is currently located in the Rijksmuseum.
