About this work

You see a green valley with a broken castle on a hill. Two riders move along a dirt path. Below them, a shepherd and his sheep walk toward the ruins. The artist never signed the work, so we don’t know who painted it. The way light and shadow play across the grass and stones feels almost like a quiet morning in the countryside. If you like this scene, spend a few minutes with other works in the Rijksmuseum.
