About the piece
Painted in 1778 by Paulus Constantijn la Fargue, this oil on panel work depicts 'The Herepad' in the Haagse Bos. The composition draws the eye down a central path flanked by towering, leafy trees, while small, finely detailed figures in period costume add a sense of narrative and scale to the tranquil, sun-drenched forest setting.
