About the piece
Adriaen van de Velde's 'Three Sheep,' painted in 1659, is a quintessential example of Dutch Golden Age landscape art. The composition captures the quiet beauty of rural life, with meticulously rendered livestock set against a sweeping sky and a distant harvest scene involving figures and a horse-drawn cart.
