Rustic landscape with shepherd and animals mb-code 1620164 inscribed sketch from my bedroomLandscape with a bearded shepherd reclining with his head supported by his left arm. In the foreground are long horned cattle and sheep, standing in and drinking from a stream or pool. Above the shepherd is a building in an advanced state of ruin, perhaps the same church or abbey in the equivalent painting of this pair. In the distance is a towered building and beyond the clouds are pink, as if at sunset. Original: oil on panel, 307mm (diameter). 17th
