Schapen 1848 - 1909

"Schapen" is an etching on copper by Johannes Arnoldus Boland, created between 1848 and 1909. The artwork depicts a pastoral scene with sheep resting in a grassy field. A large tree frames the composition on the left, while a mountainous landscape stretches out in the distance. The use of etching allows for detailed textures and nuanced tones, highlighting the delicate lines of the sheep and the rough texture of the tree bark. Boland's work often featured rural scenes like this, showcasing the beauty of the Dutch countryside and capturing the tranquility of nature.
