About the piece

Dated 1658, this oil painting by Adriaen van de Velde is a masterclass in Dutch Golden Age naturalism. The composition centers on a ram and a reclining sheep resting near a gnarled tree and rustic shelter, accompanied by a rooster and hen. The soft, sun-drenched atmosphere and meticulous attention to texture, particularly in the sheep's wool, create a grounding and timeless piece of heritage art.
