Swine Herd near a Chapel

Allart van Everdingen

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a detailed landscape with a figure walking a pig, sheep, cottages, and a church with a cross on top. The scene is set in a rural area with fine lines defining the elements such as trees, buildings, and clouds. The monochromatic print uses black ink and light-toned paper to create depth.
