EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Cowherds at Sunrise or Sunset," a captivating 17th-century artwork created by Gesina ter Borch, invites viewers to immerse themselves in the serene beauty of rural life during the Dutch Golden Age. The intricately detailed ink drawing on paper depicts two cowherds, clad in traditional attire, taking a rest at the roadside as the sun sets or rises behind them. The peaceful scene is set in the countryside, with cows grazing in the lush, green pasture, and trees lining the thoroughfare. The two cowherds, one reclining and the other lying down, seem to be lost in thought as they gaze at the landscape before them. Their attire, consisting of simple, rustic garments, is indicative of their rural occupation and the regionalism of the time. The use of color and ink on paper adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the scene to life. The artwork, a testament to the Dutch Republic's rich artistic heritage, is reminiscent of the regionalism and rural life that characterized the Netherlands during the 17th century. The time of day, whether sunrise or sunset, adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the scene, as the light casts long shadows and creates a warm, inviting glow. This drawing, now a part of the Rijksmuseum's vast collection, is a reminder of the simple pleasures of rural life and the beauty of nature that have endured through the centuries. The two cowherds, their cattle, and the surrounding landscape, invite us to take a moment to appreciate the beauty and tranquility of the countryside, no matter the time of day.
