About the piece

Painted in 1652 by the celebrated Dutch animalier Paulus Potter, this masterwork captures a serene rural moment with exquisite detail. The composition features meticulously rendered cattle and pigs bathed in a warm, golden light typical of Potter's refined style, set against an expansive, atmospheric sky and a rustic farmstead.
