About the painting

In the museum's own words — in Russian

В Государственном Эрмитаже хранится одна из лучших коллекций в мире произведений знаменитого фламандского живописца Давида Тенирса Младшего. Свыше сорока картин, относящихся к поре расцвета, демонстрируют основные грани творчества художника и позволяют раскрыть своеобразие его стиля. В эрмитажной коллекции пасторальный жанр Тенирса представлен парными изображениями "Пастуха" и "Пастушки", созданными художником в 1650-е гг. Персонажи, обладающие индивидуальными, может быть даже портретными, чертами, в то же время кажутся маленькими актерами в ролях пастуха и пастушки. Тенирс с большим увлечением выписывал не только костюмы и аксессуары, необходимые им по роли (посох, венок), но и пейзажный "задник". В руках у пастуха и пастушки дудка и тамбурин - музыкальные инструменты, под аккомпанемент которых обычно исполняется пастушеский танец.

Для этих эрмитажных композиций характерно гармоничное сочетание фигуры и пейзажа, идеального человека и его идеального окружения. Только на заднем плане в каждой из картин присутствует "брауверовский" персонаж: уродливый пастух, образ которого решен, в отличие от главных героев, в гротескном ключе.
