About the piece

This late 17th-century pastoral scene by Philipp Peter Roos (also known as Rosa da Tivoli) captures a quiet moment between a shepherd and his flock. The composition is defined by its deep, moody palette and the striking chiaroscuro highlight on the central white goat, demonstrating the artist's expertise in animalier painting during the Baroque period.
