It’s nature in a restful mood and in complete harmony with man.
Cuyp’s original was produced around 1664 and acquired by Peter Francis Bourgeois (1753-1811) during the late 18th/early 19th century. In 1811, when he died, it was left to Dulwich College, London, with instructions to build a public gallery. Dulwich Picture Gallery subsequently opened to the public in 1817.
Our version, from around 1820, features several differences and hence, it’s likely that the artist studied the original first-hand rather than working from a print. It’s a splendid survivor, probably once destined for an aristocratic setting.
