About the piece

Painted in 1645 by Dutch master Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, this Italianate landscape captures a serene moment of rural life. Figures are seen milking goats and tending to cattle beside a weathered stone fountain, all bathed in the warm, luminous light characteristic of Berchem’s celebrated style.
