Jonge herder en herderin bij een boom 1638 - 1658

"Jonge herder en herderin bij een boom," created between 1638 and 1658, is an etching by Dutch artist Cornelis Visscher. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a young shepherd and shepherdess tending to their flock in a rural landscape. The scene is dominated by a large tree, its branches reaching towards the cloudy sky, and features detailed depictions of the figures, animals, and surrounding foliage. This etching exemplifies Visscher's mastery of line and detail, characteristic of Dutch Baroque art.
