This 17th-century tile panel, painted in blue on white, depicts a pastoral scene with an elegant horseman on the left and a shepherd driving two oxen on the right, set within an idealized landscape of trees, hills, and birds in flight. The composition blends elements of hunting and herding, reflecting the harmony between nobility and rural life—a common theme in Portuguese tilework of the period. The border, adorned with volutes and vegetal motifs, reinforces the ornamental and narrative character of the piece.
