This painting shows a person in a hat leading a small herd of cows and sheep along a dirt path. The cows are brown and white, and the sheep are mostly white with some gray. The background has trees and bushes, and the whole scene looks soft and a little hazy. The artist used watercolors to keep the colors light and airy, almost like a sketch. The sheep and cows all seem calm, following the person without much fuss. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
