About the piece

Painted in 1878 by André Plumot, this captivating oil on panel captures an idyllic moment of rural life. A young woman and children are shown shepherding a small herd of goats across a simple plank bridge, set against a backdrop of soft foliage and a modest village cottage. The work is a fine example of Belgian genre painting, noted for its tender subject matter and luminous, naturalistic light.
