Nachtelijk landschap met een herder met koeien 1862

Andreas Achenbach's "Nachtelijk landschap met een herder met koeien," is a small etching depicting a nighttime scene with a shepherd tending to his cows. The work, created in 1862, demonstrates Achenbach's skill in capturing the atmosphere of a rural scene. The small dimensions of the print, 84 mm in height and 123 mm in width, suggest a focus on detail and intimacy in the representation of this pastoral subject. The etching was likely part of a larger series of works exploring Dutch landscapes and their inhabitants.
