Good shepherd 1918

Tadeusz Makowski's 1918 painting "Good Shepherd" depicts a weathered shepherd holding a lamb close to his chest, his face etched with a deep sense of responsibility. The shepherd's worn clothing and staff emphasize his humble role as a guardian, reflecting the Christian parable of the Good Shepherd who cares for his flock. This oil painting, with its muted colors and detailed brushstrokes, showcases Makowski's talent for capturing both the physical and emotional essence of his subjects.
