Description

Schlemmer paints agrarian landscapes in oil on canvas. This scene has a darkening sky adding mauves and pinks hues around the trees. The shepherd and his wife stroll as the sheep graze in the last of the sunlight. Schlemmer captures every detail including the village and church spire in the distance and the glassy pond in the foreground. This realist painting transports you to a German field.
