Corsicaanse herder 1925

"Corsican Shepherd" is a 1925 etching by Dutch artist Lodewijk Schelfhout. The work, currently held at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a shepherd in a wide-brimmed hat, a striking image of the figure against the dark landscape. Schelfhout, known for his landscapes, here captures the starkness and beauty of the Corsican landscape, echoing the shepherd's isolation and the vastness of nature. This small-scale print (99 mm x 69 mm) allows for intimate observation of Schelfhout's detailed work and the powerful presence of the shepherd.
