A shepherd and his herd amidst a vast field dominate this refreshing landscape. In this composition, the serene landscape of the countryside is enlivened by the harmonious colours of green and orche. By using confident strokes, the artist creates a powerful and lively composition, evoking a harmonious atmosphere of nature and man united.
