Shepherd and Sheep 1888

"Shepherd and Sheep" is a work by Camille Pissarro, one of the founders of Impressionism, created in 1888. The painting captures a pastoral scene, characterized by short, visible brushstrokes that give the landscape a textured and vibrant quality. The colors are bright and saturated, depicting the warm hues of the sunlight on the fields and the cool blues of the sky. The figure of the shepherd in the foreground, along with his flock and dog, is rendered with detail, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The work is characteristic of Pissarro's later Pointillist style, which he embraced in the 1880s.
