The Goatherd of San Ángel

What you see

An earthen slope runs diagonally down from the left, with a large agave in the foreground. A goatherd dressed in white follows two goats down the path, while others graze higher up. At the center, trees crowd around a dark hollow; on the left a waterfall spills from a wall, and on the right stands a tall building with rows of windows.

Behind the trees, a chimney sends up gray smoke that blends into the white clouds. The greens are carefully distinguished, from the bluish agave to the dark foliage of the hollow. Notice the vertical pipes running down the building's right wall, and the white glint of the falling water.
