About the piece

Created in 1858 by Anna Zmeškalová, this oil on canvas captures 'Skalka na Orave,' a landmark in the Orava region of Slovakia. The work beautifully juxtaposes the monumental scale of the limestone cliffs against the intimate, quiet scene of a shepherd tending his flock in the valley below, all illuminated by a soft, afternoon light.
