About the piece
Painted by Aert Schouman in 1742, this Rococo work depicts a scene from pastoral literature where the nymph Amaryllis plays blind man’s bluff. The composition features soft atmospheric lighting, elegant classical drapery, and a rustic setting complete with grazing goats, characteristic of the decorative 'behangsels' or wall hangings popular in grand Dutch houses of the period.
