About the piece
Created in 1797 by Dutch artist Pieter Gerardus van Os, this work uses watercolor and chalk to masterfully depict the quiet harmony of the late 18th-century countryside. Two herdsmen are nestled amongst their livestock—cows and sheep—beneath the sheltering branches of ancient, gnarled trees, rendered with fine detail and a soft, naturalistic palette that brings a timeless sense of peace to any space.
