The finely detailed oil on panel depicts a lone shepherd tending his flock of sheep along a country path as dark clouds roll across the sky, hinting at an impending storm. Solbrig captures the stillness before the change in weather with remarkable realism—his careful rendering of the sheep, textured foliage, and dramatic cloudscape embodies the late 19th-century German Romantic tradition of landscape painting.

The work is signed H. Solbrig at lower left. The reverse retains an old exhibition label inscribed “No. 110 – A Weather is Coming”, suggesting that this piece was once shown in a European art exhibition.

Presented in a richly toned giltwood frame that enhances its dramatic tonal contrasts. A truly stunning piece that is sure to catch the eye.
