Landscape with a Herdsman and Goats is a 1635 oil by Gaspard Dughet, a Barbizon school work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
You see a landscape with a herdsman and goats in the painting. The herdsman is standing near a tree, and the goats are scattered around him. This scene is interesting because it shows a quiet moment in the herdsman's daily life, and the way the artist used light and shadow to create depth is notable. The artist used simple elements to create a sense of calm. Check out the work of Gaspard Dughet.
