Opening the Fold

Samuel Palmer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of a man herding a flock of sheep in a landscape. The man wearing a hat and long clothes is standing on the right side. The flock is gathered in the foreground in front of him, on a small clearing with a basket-like structure to the right. There are hills and trees on both sides. In the background on the left are two people and on the right a hut. Further in the background is a valley with more hills and a town. The sky is cloudy and there are birds flying. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom-right corner.
