The Herd at Rest by Nicolaes Berchem shows a black and white etching of a herd of cattle and goats resting in a field. A large tree trunk is on the left. A man wearing a wide-brimmed hat stands under the tree with a shepherd's staff in one hand and is petting a goat with the other. Several cows and goats are lying down in the foreground, while others stand or walk in the background. The scene is set in a rural area with trees and hills in the distance.
