About the piece
Painted around 1650 by Johannes Lingelbach, this work captures a serene moment of repose in the Roman countryside. A young boy playing a flute atop a donkey provides a musical focal point, while the seated father and standing mother look on, accompanied by their faithful dog under the shade of a towering tree. Lingelbach was a master of the Dutch Italianate style, known for his warm, golden light and sensitive depiction of rural life.
