Rien de trop (Nothing in Excess)

Jean-Baptiste Oudry, published 1756

The image shows sheep grazing in a field of tall, golden grass. The sheep are portrayed with detailed brushstrokes against the backdrop of a medieval-style stone castle on a distant hill. The sky has soft blue and pink hues. The color palette consists of warm yellows and browns in the fields contrasting with muted tones of the castle.
