About this work

A shepherd and a rider on horseback lead a flock of sheep along a dirt path beside a still pond in an open countryside. Distant farm buildings and a figure with cattle appear across the fields under a broad, cloud-filled sky. Constant Troyon painted this oil work in 1854, now held by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
