About the piece

Erik Werenskiold’s 1883 painting 'Shepherds at Tåtøy' is a beautiful example of Norwegian Naturalism. The work depicts children in a moment of rest, rendered with expressive brushwork that captures the vibrant play of sunlight across the rugged landscape and pastoral setting of a northern summer.
