This charming, rare little print is a remarkable pastiche of Italian and German sources. Distinctly Venetian in atmosphere and reminiscent of the bucolic scenes of Giorgione and Titian, the resting shepherd and the goats are copied from an engraving by Giulio Campagnola (circa 1482- after 1515), while the flock of starlings whirling around the distant tower at right and the swans in the pond are taken directly from Dürer's famous engraving of circa 1501, Saint Eustace (see lot 53). Even the large plant in the foreground and the ship in the distance stem from Dürer's prints.
