The Sheep and the Flies is a 1655 by Karel Dujardin, a Baroque work, depicting Sheep, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a shepherd in a hat watching sheep and a dog in a sunlit field. A few flies buzz around the animals in the lower right corner. Dujardin painted this in 1655. The scene feels quiet and real, not like a big dramatic story. It’s a small picture but full of quiet details. Next, check out another artist from the same time.
