Exhibited with great reception at the Salon in Paris in 1864,
this famous painting of sheep conveys a sense of peace, calm,
and perhaps even a slight melancholy. A young shepherd, probably based on
the artist's daughter, stands in front of his flock at a quiet and private moment.
Unlike the previous two paintings, Millet did not focus on sheep or lambs
as much as Agnus Dei, but instead focused on emphasizing the everyday
scenes of rural life, offering dignity and courtesy to pastoral scenes. It seems that
the artist had sheep in his head for several years - he stated that
the idea of \u200b\u200bthis painting "catch" him and forced him to create the image.
It is now part of Orsay's famous painting collection, along with other masterpieces
Location: Musee d'Orsay, Paris
