Shepherd Boy with a Goat (Pastoral)

The boy has paused beside a cut stump, a stick over his shoulder carrying a bundle of faggots, both hands closed around it and the wide brim of his hat pulled low. He wears a blue-green jacket with turned lapels, a striped shirt and checked trousers tucked into laced boots. A grey-and-black spotted kid stands at his left, muzzle raised toward him. Small yellow flowers dot the grassy ground, which sits on a white socle with gilt scrollwork.
