Schelte Adamsz. Bolswert was best known for his reproductive engravings of the work of Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens. This engraving is from a lengthy series called Small Landscapes , which shows humans in all-encompassing, dramatic landscapes. The human figures in this composition, who graze sheep and fetch water from the stream, interact with and blend into their surroundings.
