About the piece
Painted around 1670 by Johannes Siberechts, this scene depicts a group of peasants guiding livestock across a shallow stream. The composition is anchored by a dramatic, gnarled tree stump on the right and atmospheric reflections in the water, showcasing the artist's skill in blending human activity with a tranquil landscape.
