Thenot and Colinet

William Blake

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures with sheep in a pastoral setting. The figures are standing in a landscape with sheep around them. One figure holds a staff and leans on a tree, while the other stands with a gesture. The background shows a bright area hinting at either a sunrise or sunset over distant hills. The scene is depicted in a style resembling classic woodcut illustrations in black and white.
