About the piece
Painted in 1657, this oil on canvas by Nicolaes Berchem is a masterful example of the Dutch Italianate style. The work depicts a pastoral scene of rush gatherers at work near a rocky stream, accompanied by cattle and a figure on horseback, all set within a dramatic composition of dense trees and distant, sun-drenched mountains.
