"Landscape with a Shepherd and His Flock" is an etching created by French Baroque artist Sebastien Bourdon between 1668 and 1671. The print depicts a serene pastoral scene with a shepherd tending to his flock in a lush landscape. The composition features a dramatic use of light and shadow, typical of Bourdon's style, highlighting the figure of the shepherd and the flock of sheep. The ruined column and castle in the background suggest a sense of history and time passing, while the overall effect is one of tranquility and peace. Bourdon's etchings, known for their fine detail and sophisticated composition, are highly sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts.
