DescriptionThis is a monochromatic drawing depicting a shepherd asleep against a small tree, with two sheep lying at his feet. Behind the shepherd and slightly beyond the tree is another sheep sauntering off to nibble some grass. There are more trees stretching in a line towards the right and on the left is flat ground as far as the horizon. In between the trees in the distance is a farm building.On View
