About the piece

Painted around 1650 by Willem Romeyn, this oil on panel depicts a tranquil gathering of livestock at a river crossing. The composition is anchored by a steep, sun-drenched cliff and soft, billowing clouds, characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with pastoral life and atmospheric landscapes.
