Shepherd Resting Against a Fence – 18th-Century Etching by F. Faber
This finely detailed etching by F. Faber, titled 'Schaapherder leunend tegen hek' (Shepherd Resting Against a Fence), depicts a tranquil pastoral scene featuring a shepherd leaning casually on a wooden fence under the shade of a large tree. Surrounding him are several sheep, some grazing and others resting peacefully in the foreground. The rolling hills and sky in the background complete the idyllic countryside setting, demonstrating the artist’s keen eye for nature and rural life.
Artist
F. Faber, noted here as both painter (pinx) and engraver (sculp), was active in the 18th century. Faber was known for his ability to capture pastoral themes with delicate linework and atmospheric balance, evoking the peaceful simplicity of rural life.
Artistic Context
During the 18th century, rural scenes featuring shepherds and livestock became popular subjects in European art, reflecting an idealized view of the countryside and a romanticized connection with nature. These works were admired for their charm and attention to detail, making them highly collectible among art enthusiasts.
