Description: | An indistinct interior reveals sheep in the left foreground, lit from the right. The artist is interested in the geometry of the roof beams. Below, one animal, standing and central, is half illuminated, head casting a shadow. On the left, an angled structure (holding hay or straw) leads the eye into the background. There, a man with hat sits against a wall. The monochromatic colour-scheme, in tones of Rembrandt brown, is only enlivened by tiny white dots describing birds to the left and centre. Aspects of peasant life and farms were frequent in Hervier's graphic work. | Subjects: | animal (sheep); interior | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Hervier, Louis Adolphe (French painter and printmaker, 1818-1879) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8507... | Go to resource |
