In the warm reddish light of the setting sun a shepherd, riding on a mule, with his small flock with bulls, goats and sheep standing in the shallow water of a river, on whose banks lie large boulders. In the background, a stone tower and a round-arched bridge, which probably crosses the river. On the right behind the stones, various bushes and trees, rising into the blue sky, illuminated by the reddish sunlight coming from the left. Atmospheric painting. (1221937) (18)
