Landscape with a woman driving sheep is a 1850 watercolor by Samuel Palmer, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A woman in dark clothes walks along a grassy path, leading a small flock of sheep. The hill behind her is covered in thick green trees and bushes, with a rocky outcrop near the top. The sky above is partly cloudy, letting in soft light that brightens the scene. The artist used loose, quick brushstrokes to show the wild, uneven landscape—no straight lines here. The colors are warm and earthy, with patches of blue flowers along the path. Check out Samuel Palmer for more paintings like this.
