Le Berger et La Bergre

Charles-François Daubigny

National Gallery of Art

This image depicts a wooded landscape with trees dominating the scene. The perspective is slightly elevated. The brushstrokes show detailed textures of leaves, branches, and sheep's wool. Several sheep are grazing and resting, along with two figures partially concealed by trees. The color palette is monochromatic, mainly using shades of brown to create contrast between light and shadow.
