Le Départ pour les champs

Claude Lorrain, vers 1638/1641

The image features a pastoral scene with goats being herded by figures, one of whom is riding a donkey. A distant horizon shows mountains and a village. The sky above is textured with fine, horizontal lines. The intricate brushstrokes depict trees, foliage, animals, and human figures. The trees bend to the right of the composition, while rocks and architecture in the distance show precise line detail. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of brown and black.
