About the piece

Created in 1785 by Henk Meijer, this atmospheric oil painting captures an idyllic pastoral moment in the European countryside. The composition artfully balances the weathered textures of ancient stone ruins with the soft forms of a traveling herd, all set within a lush, verdant landscape under an expansive sky.
