About the piece
Created in 1856 by Constant Troyon, this oil on panel is a quintessential example of the Barbizon school's interest in naturalistic rural life. The composition focuses on the powerful forms of cattle and sheep moving toward the viewer along a sun-dappled path, set against a rich backdrop of golden-brown autumn trees and a dramatic, overcast sky.
