About the piece

Painted in 1908, this masterful work by John Singer Sargent captures the shimmering Mediterranean sun filtering through ancient olive branches. The scene depicts figures and a herd of goats on a hillside, brought to life through Sargent's fluid brushwork and a rich, earthy palette.
