Over het werk
In this scene, a man is playing a double shepherd’s flute. Shepherds have enjoyed music since ancient times. As they spent long hours tending their flocks in the fields, music became a source of entertainment and solace for them. They would often sing songs and play music to calm and soothe their sheep, as well as to pass the time.
