Shepherd with His Flock

Anton Mauve

Cleveland Museum of Art

Brown-toned landscape painting. A man stands facing away from viewer at the top-center of image, wearing a hat, and carrying a long stick over right shoulder. He leads a herd of around 30 light-colored sheep down a path. The path is surrounded by patches of grass. Beyond the man and sheep are trees, some bare-branched, some leafy. A line of leafy trees extends across top-right section of image. Sky above is cloudy. The artist's signature is in the bottom-right corner.
