| Karel Dujardin Herdsman with an Ox, an Ass, and Sheep in the Campagna ca. 1661-64 oil on panel Royal Collection, Great Britain |
"Born in Amsterdam, Dujardin probably first went to Rome during the late 1640s. Despite his frequent travelling and ability to amalgamate various influences and styles, he retained a Dutch flavour in his paintings. The landscape is arid; the ground is rough and dry, with a few thin patches of grass, and the trees beyond the fence are sparse. The young herdsman and his dog cut two solitary figures with their backs turned away from the ox, ass and sheep. The boy is absorbed in the task of fixing his boot, his left hand pinching the leather. Dujardin reworked this detail to ensure that the angle of the boot was in correct perspective, but the original positioning of the foot slightly lower down is clear to the naked eye. The overall pose of the herdsman recalls the figure of the Spinario, a boy with a thorn in his foot, portrayed in classical sculpture."

| Claude Lorrain View of the Roman Campagna from Tivoli ca. 1644-45 drawing British Museum |
"A view of the Roman Campagna from Tivoli, record of the painting in the Royal Collection [directly below]. The drawing corresponds closely to the painting, but is extended slightly on all four sides. Combined with the fact that the painting is about 4 x 7 cm smaller than its pendant, this suggests that it may have been cut down by these amounts."

| Claude Lorrain View of the Roman Campagna from Tivoli ca. 1644-45 oil on canvas Royal Collection, Great Britain |
"The rich intensity of this evening landscape has been revealed by the recent conservation of this little-known painting. Unlike the majority of Claude's works, the picture has no other subject matter than the drama and beauty of the Campagna – the countryside around Rome. The landscape around Tivoli had been a popular sketching spot, particularly with Northern artists, since the end of the sixteenth century, and Claude's visits to the Roman Campagna were part of a well-established pattern. The landscape was filled with medieval and ancient ruins that were particularly attractive to artists. Frederick, Prince of Wales, whose collection included a number of Italianate landscape views by Claude and Gaspard Dughet, probably purchased this work. The painting hung in Buckingham House under George III, ca. 1774 in the King's dressing room and by 1817 in the Blue Velvet Room. By 1855 it had moved to the King's Bedroom, Windsor Castle."
