Here, a typical sheepfold from the countryside of southern France in the 19th century, nestled in the trees, under a summer sky. The landscape is animated by the departure of the flock of sheep, under the guard of the alert dog, waiting for its master. The painter delimits the scene by the warm light with which he surrounds it, and distills it onto the protective walls of the sheepfold, through the groves and foliage, and in the background where the roofs of other village houses can be seen. . A well-crafted work, full of harmony and charm where the animals give life and humanity to the landscape.
