This painting shows a quiet countryside scene with a wooden fence and a gate in the middle. Tall trees line the left side, casting shadows on the grass below. In the distance, a flock of sheep grazes near a hill under a pale sky. The sheep are small and simple, almost like a quick sketch. The fence looks old, with uneven posts and a sagging gate. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
