About the piece

Painted around 1680 by Philipp Peter Roos, this work captures a quiet moment in the Italian countryside. The artist, a renowned specialist in animal subjects, emphasizes the varied textures of the goats' coats and the alertness of the dog in the foreground. Set against a backdrop of distant ruins and atmospheric clouds, the composition exemplifies the rugged charm of the Baroque pastoral tradition.
