About this work

A boy in a hat sits on a rock, holding a stick and watching a flock of goats and sheep. The goats have long, curved horns, and the sheep are shaggy. The sky is pale with soft clouds, and the ground looks dry and cracked. The boy’s face is calm, almost like he’s waiting for something. The animals seem relaxed, too—some are lying down, others grazing. This painting is at the Museum of Ethnography.
