About the piece

Painted around 1640 by Jan Thomas van Ieperen, this work captures the idyllic charm of the pastoral tradition. A shepherd and shepherdess are shown in a moment of quiet intimacy, surrounded by goats, sheep, and a loyal hound, reflecting the vibrant brushwork and warm palettes characteristic of the Antwerp school during the 17th century.
