To the right of the bucolic composition, dense, somber vegetation provides a backdrop for a fountain with a mask and stepped base on which rests a male profile, a bas-relief carved in marble in the foreground.
The depiction is full of animals and characters, a woman with child proceeding on horseback, figures of shepherds on foot intent on grazing and governing a small flock of sheep, a goat and three cows.
On the left of the painting, a natural scenery opens the view to the planted plain, where a landscape with reliefs on the horizon can be seen in the background, bathed in soft daylight, filtered by clouds.
The compositional model of this work of Central European provenance describes a serene and genuine reality of complete harmony between the figures and the landscape.
The painting comes from a private Milanese collection and is in good condition; it has the canvas a bit lax and would possibly need cleaning. It is presented unframed. less
