About the piece

Created around 1650 by Willem de Heusch, this oil painting on copper is a quintessential example of the Dutch Italianate style. The work beautifully depicts a peaceful pastoral scene, where herders lead goats and sheep through a landscape of rolling hills and delicate trees, all bathed in a warm, luminous glow that evokes a sense of timeless tranquility.
