About the piece

Painted in 1664 by Jan Weenix, this work exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age interest in the Italianate landscape. A shepherd boy is captured in a quiet moment of repose with his dog and flock, set against the evocative backdrop of crumbling classical columns and a winding river valley.
