Herdsman with a Billy Goat and Goats
Several goats rest on bare, dusty ground beneath a pale blue sky with distant hills. A large cream-colored billy goat with long curved horns dominates the center, while a darker goat lies at lower left, another peers from upper left, and a red-clad herder with a hat appears at the right edge. Painted in oils with loose, warm brushwork.
