The Sleeping Shepherd by Samuel Palmer: A black-and-white drawing of a shepherd reclining on the floor of a small structure with a sloping roof. The shepherd wears a wide-brimmed hat and a long-sleeved garment. Several sheep are nearby. In the background, a plowman and oxen are on a hill. Trees and foliage are on either side. A fence and more trees are in the middle ground. Birds are flying in the sky.
