| "The Shepherd" is a very pleasing and discriminative specimen of Rosa Bonheur's work, in which are seen the quietude and gentleness of Nature as distinguished from the noise and bustle and power exhibited in the well-known 'Horse-Fair'. In foreign countries the flocks are more accustomed to follow their keepers than to be driven by them : and here we see the stalwart old shepherd, who is probably leading homeward his sheep at the decline of day - the long shadows on the ground help to determine the time - has brought them to a halt while he watches one of his dogs, the other seating itself with his eyes on the flock before him - bringing back a wanderer to its companions." (Art Journal 1877) | |||||
