Landscape with Milkmaid and Shepherd is a 1646 oil by David Teniers the Younger, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Städel Museum.
This painting shows a serene landscape with a milkmaid and a shepherd. The milkmaid, dressed in a red jacket and blue skirt, sits on a rock, milking a cow. The shepherd, wearing a brown jacket and a red hat, stands nearby, holding a staff and looking out at the viewer. In the background, a flock of sheep grazes in a green field, with trees and a few buildings visible in the distance. The painting features a range of colors, from the warm tones of the milkmaid's clothing to the cool blues and greens of the landscape. The overall effect is one of peacefulness and tranquility. For more information on the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, check out the work of David Teniers the Younger.
