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.

These works were admired for their charm and attention to detail, making them highly collectible among art enthusiasts.
