"Goats" is an etching by the Dutch artist Herman van Swanevelt (1603-1655). The print depicts a pastoral scene with three goats and two figures in a wooded landscape. This etching demonstrates Swanevelt's interest in landscape and animal studies, a common interest among Dutch Golden Age artists. The figures in the foreground are likely shepherds watching the goats, adding a sense of depth and realism to the composition. Swanevelt's work is known for its meticulous detail, evident in the rendering of the goats' fur, the foliage, and the overall atmosphere of the scene. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of volume and texture, contributing to the artwork's appeal.
