DescriptionThe image depicts a juvenile male figure with bright blonde hair stands in a green field dotted with pink foliage; the figure is barefoot and wears blue overalls over a light blue collared shirt. He lifts his proper left hand to shield his eyes from the sun. To his right is a large sheep facing right with its head turned left toward the boy. A grove of thick green trees is visible in on the horizon. The style is painterly with golden highlights and blue-toned shading.
