Sleeping Shepherds

Adriaen van de Velde

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sleeping Shepherds by Adriaen van de Velde. A man wearing a blue robe lies on the ground with his head on his arm, resting near a rocky outcropping. A brown horse stands to the left, bending to drink from a small body of water. Three white sheep are nearby, one lying down and two sitting. A large tree with a draped cloth is to the right. In the background, a person stands on a hill, with mountains and a cloudy sky visible.
