Meadow with sheep 1860

"Meadow with Sheep" is an etching by Charles François Daubigny, a prominent figure in the Barbizon school, created in 1860. The artwork depicts a serene landscape with a flock of sheep resting in a meadow, framed by a fence and trees. Daubigny's signature style is evident in the detailed yet delicate portrayal of the natural world, captured with a focus on light and atmosphere.
