About the piece
Created in 1652 by Cornelis Saftleven, this Dutch Golden Age painting is a masterful display of animalier art. The composition brings together ducks, goats, sheep, and cattle in a harmonious rural landscape, all resting under an expansive sky. Saftleven's keen observation of nature is evident in the detailed rendering of the animals and the atmospheric light typical of the period.
