About the piece
Painted in 1672 by Dutch Master Adriaen van de Velde, this work captures a moment of serene rural life. The composition highlights the soft play of light across the animals' coats against the deep, shaded greens of the woodland edge, creating a timeless and grounding atmosphere characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age.
