The composition features a group of livestock, including cattle, goats, and sheep, arranged in a naturalistic setting. A herdsman stands in the background with his staff, overseeing the animals as they rest or graze. The work is marked with the inscription 'Berghem delin', indicating that Vivares based this print on a drawing by the Dutch artist Nicolaes Berchem, a master of the Italianate pastoral style.\n\nVivares, a French engraver who spent his career in London, was highly regarded for his technical skill in reproducing the works of other artists. His line work is precise and controlled, using varied hatching to define the musculature of the cattle and the textures of the animals' coats. The scene avoids dramatic artifice, focusing instead on the mundane details of farm life. The inclusion of the standing cow, depicted in a naturalistic act, demonstrates the period's preference for unvarnished observation of the countryside. The background remains relatively sparse, allowing the figures to occupy the primary visual space without distraction. This print offers a glimpse into the collaborative nature of printmaking during the 18th century, where engravers translated the sketches of painters into widely distributed images for collectors and enthusiasts of the pastoral genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eApotheosis of Hercules - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/harbor-entrance-at-sunset-franz-edmund-weirotter\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eHarbor Entrance at Sunset - Franz Edmund Weirotter — Franz Edmund Weirotter\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"François Vivares","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58172165390671,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58172553363791,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58172553396559,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58172553429327,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58172553462095,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172553494863,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58172553527631,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58172553560399,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172553593167,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58172553625935,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58172553658703,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172553691471,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Plassende-koe-een-liggende-koe-geiten-en-herders-met-schapen_Poster_CompositorV1_1783472286898.jpg?v=1783568180","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/plassende-koe-een-liggende-koe-geiten-en-herders-met-schapen-francois-vivares","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
