Cowherder

Camille Pissarro

Cleveland Museum of Art

A black and white sketch depicts a man herding cows. The man wears a long-sleeved shirt and long pants. He faces away from the viewer, holding a long stick in his right hand above his head. Three cows are in the foreground, two mostly visible and one partially cut off on the left. The cows are large and have their heads lowered. The background shows a flat, open area with a few small bushes and trees in the distance under a blank sky. The sketch is on a beige background with a white border. A signature appears at the bottom.
