{"product_id":"schotse-herder-charles-rochussen","title":"Schotse herder - Charles Rochussen","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate etching by Charles Rochussen depicting a young shepherd and cattle in a mountainous setting, rendered with fine line work and atmospheric detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharles Rochussen was a Dutch painter, draughtsman, and etcher known for his historical scenes and depictions of rural life. This etching, titled Schotse herder, captures a quiet moment in a mountainous region. The composition centres on a young shepherd leaning against a rustic wooden fence, while cattle graze on the slopes behind him. The artist employs delicate, fine lines to define the textures of the terrain and the animals, creating a sense of atmospheric depth within the oval frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRochussen often drew inspiration from the Romantic tradition, which frequently explored the relationship between figures and their natural surroundings. The shepherd appears contemplative, positioned in the foreground to provide a human scale to the vast, rugged environment. The use of light and shadow, achieved through varied hatching techniques, gives the scene a soft, ethereal quality. The inclusion of the cattle on the hillside adds a sense of movement and life to the otherwise still, pastoral setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work reflects the technical precision common in nineteenth-century Dutch printmaking. The artist avoids excessive detail, allowing the viewer to focus on the interaction between the shepherd and the livestock. The oval format, a common choice for prints of this period, draws the eye toward the centre of the image, creating a contained and intimate viewing experience. The presence of the artist's stamp in the lower right corner confirms its provenance as a work from his studio. This print offers a glimpse into the thematic interests of Rochussen, who frequently turned his attention to the quiet dignity of rural labour and the beauty of the natural world.\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\/on-the-island-of-crete-ivan-aivazovsky\" 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;\"\u003eOn the Island of Crete - Ivan Aivazovsky — Ivan Aivazovsky\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-barnyard-albert-pinkham-ryder\" 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;\"\u003eThe Barnyard - Albert Pinkham Ryder — Albert Pinkham Ryder\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Charles Rochussen","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58480164045135,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58480197239119,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58480197271887,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58480197304655,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58480197337423,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58480197370191,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58480197402959,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58480197435727,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58480197468495,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58480197501263,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58480197534031,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58480197566799,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Schotse-herder_Poster_CompositorV1_1786348212027.jpg?v=1786768584","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/schotse-herder-charles-rochussen","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
