A Herd at the Edge of a Forest

Charles-Émile Jacque

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black-and-white drawing of a man herding sheep. The man is standing on the left side, wearing a hat and holding a long stick. He is surrounded by a large group of sheep, most of which are facing right, some with their heads down. In the background, there are trees on the right side and an open field on the left side under a cloudy sky. The drawing is done in a detailed, realistic style with heavy shading and texture. The scene is set outdoors, likely in a rural or countryside area. The title of the work is "A Herd at the Edge of a Forest" by Charles-Émile Jacque.
