The Three Drovers by Nicolaes Berchem, c1621-1683, oil on canvas. The late afternoon sunlight casts long shadows on the ground. Herders head home with their cattle, a shepherd boy drives his flock before him with a stick. Berchem was fond of motiffs that enliven his pastoral landscapes - motiffs that tell a story like no other artist, he defined the Dutch image of Italian country life.
