Large Sheepfold

Millet, Daubigny and Barbizon, 1860

The image depicts a pastoral scene with sheep resting and grazing. It is viewed from a slightly elevated perspective, showing a horizon line with a fence, distant trees, and a windmill on the far left. The etching utilizes fine lines and cross-hatching to create texture and depth. The color palette is monochromatic in shades of sepia. In the distance, birds fly in the sky. The scene conveys a sense of calm on a farm in the early morning.
