| Description |
The present playful figure of a shepherd represents the Arcadian fantasies which were in vogue in Utrecht in the 1620s. In pastoral literature, the roguish shepherd sings bawdy songs, but his pictorial counterpart is usually more decorous, although the flute played by our shepherd is certainly meant to convey erotic overtones. |
