About the piece

Painted around 1650 by Adriaen van de Velde, this work exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age fascination with the pastoral. The composition balances the grounded presence of the cattle and sheep with a magnificent, expansive sky, while a distant church spire adds a sense of quiet community to the rural idyllic scene.
