This etching, titled "River Crossing (Le Ruisseau Traverse), 1653" by Nicolaes Pietersz. Berchem, transports us to a serene rural setting in the 17th century. The print showcases a picturesque scene of a river crossing, where various animals and humans coexist harmoniously. In the foreground, we see a woman elegantly mounted on her horseback, confidently leading her trusty steed across the shallow waters. A donkey dutifully follows behind with its load while nearby, a cow takes cautious steps towards the opposite bank. On the other side of the riverbank, sheep graze peacefully as they quench their thirst from the crystal-clear water. Berchem's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of each animal's movement and posture - from horses gracefully striding through the water to cows cautiously navigating their way across.

The soft light filtering through creates an ethereal atmosphere that adds depth and dimension to this timeless artwork.

As we admire this masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of nature's
