About the piece
Painted in 1664 by Adriaen van de Velde, this masterful work captures the serene essence of an Arcadian landscape. A shepherd stands beside a nursing woman near a classical stone monument, surrounded by a diverse flock of cattle, sheep, and a prominent white horse. The composition perfectly balances the dense foliage on the left with an expansive, light-filled sky on the right, characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with pastoral beauty.
