A single figure, likely a shepherd, guides a sheep across a wooden bridge with a quaint building in the background, possibly a sheepfold. Pfeiffer's delicate lines create a sense of tranquility, highlighting the simple beauty of nature. This artwork, measuring 267 mm in height and 362 mm in width, exemplifies Pfeiffer's mastery of etching, a technique he used to capture the idyllic landscapes of his time.
