Artist, British, 1862 - 1927

The image shows a figure and a group of animals in a pastoral setting. The horizon is positioned about a third of the way down from the top of the image, with a sky filled with horizontal, cloud-like patterns. Tall, leafless trees extend vertically through the image. The brushstrokes are loose and defined, with careful linework outlining the figure and sheep close to the viewer. The color palette is muted, with light browns and soft greens dominating the scene. The figure is to the left, surrounded by grazing sheep.
