Landscape with Shepherd

What you see

A huge dark tree frames the left side, and beside it stands a broken, crownless trunk. Below, a stream tumbles in small cascades between rocks. Behind, the valley stretches out in woods and meadows to a long bluish mountain on the horizon. In the central meadow you can pick out a flock of white sheep and, to the right, the tiny figure of the shepherd.

The tones are warm and earthy, browns, russets and dark greens, against a pale blue sky with pinkish clouds on the right. Light falls on the valley while the foreground stays in shadow. Watch for the white water of the cascades and the reddish cliffs in the middle distance.
