About the piece

This 18th-century oil painting by Philipp Peter Roos, known as Rosa de Tivoli, captures a serene moment of pastoral life. A young shepherd sits quietly beside a varied flock of sheep and a goat, rendered with the artist's characteristic attention to animal texture and anatomy against a dramatic, cloudy sky typical of the Baroque period.
