Schaapsherder met kudde en hond before 1901

"Schaapsherder met kudde en hond" is a black and white photogravure by Léonard Misonne, a Belgian photographer known for his depictions of rural life. The image shows a shepherd with a flock of sheep and a dog against a dramatic cloudy sky. The photogravure technique, popular in the late 19th century, uses an etching process to create a print with a rich tonal range and subtle details. This work embodies Misonne's style, characterized by simplicity and a focus on capturing the beauty of the everyday.
