Der Ziegenhirt

Claude Lorrain, 1663

The image shows a pastoral landscape from a low vantage point. The horizon is in the middle, separating the sky from the land. A cluster of buildings is visible on the horizon, resembling a village or castle. The drawing is detailed with precise linework for texture on trees, land, and structures. It is monochrome with warm gray shades. Goats are resting on the grass in the foreground, and tall trees with intricate cross-hatching leaves are on the right. Hills and a spacious landscape extend towards the sky in the background.
