Español: Pastor descansando con cabras y ovejas, aguafuerte, 1769

Un aguafuerte y aguatinta de un pastor con una túnica holgada y clara, sentado a la izquierda entre arbustos frondosos, con un bastón sobre el hombro. A su lado una cabra con cuernos está de pie y las ovejas descansan en el suelo, con árboles y un rebaño lejano en el paisaje brumoso.

Uma água-forte e aquatinta de um pastor com uma túnica larga e clara, sentado à esquerda entre arbustos frondosos, com um cajado sobre o ombro. Ao lado dele, uma cabra com chifres está de pé e as ovelhas descansam no chão, com árvores e um rebanho distante na paisagem enevoada.
