On the right of the bucolic composition, thick and dark vegetation forms the backdrop to a fountain with a mask and a stepped base on which a male profile rests, a bas-relief carved in marble in the foreground.
The depiction is full of animals and characters, a woman with a child riding on horseback, figures of shepherds on foot intent on grazing and managing a small flock of sheep, a goat and three cows.
On the left of the painting, a natural setting opens the view towards the planted plain, where a landscape with reliefs can be seen on the horizon, in the background, immersed in soft daylight, filtered by the clouds.
The compositional model of this work of Central European origin describes a serene and genuine reality, of complete harmony between the figures and the landscape.
The painting comes from a private collection in Milan, it is in good condition; the canvas is a bit loose and could possibly need cleaning. It is presented without a frame. See less
