About the piece
Painted in 1656 by the renowned Dutch Golden Age artist Philips Wouwerman, this work captures the rhythmic daily life of a rural courtyard. A farrier is depicted shoeing a horse, surrounded by a diverse cast of characters, including a shepherd with his flock, while crumbling, vine-covered ruins provide a sense of atmospheric history and texture.
