About the piece

Painted in 1657 by Dutch master Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, this evocative oil on canvas depicts a timeless pastoral moment. Figures and livestock rest and work in a sun-drenched valley, set against the dramatic backdrop of rugged cliffs and ancient trees, showcasing the artist's celebrated Italianate style which influenced generations of landscape painters.
