His mother smiles down at him, the last of the sun catching her wide brow and her white shawl. Beside them a man leans forward with a smile, lulling him to sleep with a tune on his hurdy-gurdy. In his red shirt, big hat and sturdy shoes, the man is likely to be a travelling musician.\n\nReligious images weren't permitted in Dutch Protestant churches, but were appreciated in many families. A painting like this may well have been recognised as alluding to the journey into Egypt made by the holy family – the Virgin Mary, Joseph and Jesus – but it would have been loved for the pastoral serenity of the scene too.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/nicolaes-berchem-a-peasant-playing-a-hurdy-gurdy-to-a-woman-and-child\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - A Peasant playing a Hurdy-Gurdy to a Woman and Child in a Woody Landscape, with Oxen, Sheep and Goats\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicolaes Berchem","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509863846131,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (13 5\/8\" x 15 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509863878899,"sku":null,"price":453.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (17\" x 18 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509863911667,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (20 3\/4\" x 23\")","offer_id":50509863944435,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (25 1\/2\" x 28 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509863977203,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (32 7\/8\" x 36 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509864009971,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (39 1\/2\" x 44\")","offer_id":50509864042739,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (46 1\/2\" x 51 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509864075507,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (55 3\/4\" x 62 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509864108275,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/APeasantplayingaHurdy-GurdytoaWomanandChildinaWoodyLandscape_withOxen_SheepandGoats.jpg?v=1789214602","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/a-peasant-playing-a-hurdy-gurdy-to-a-woman-and-child-in-a-woody-landscape-with-oxen-sheep-and-goats-ngal1286","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
