Oil on canvas. Venetian school of the first half of the 18th century. The landscape, of good quality, is close to the pictorial ways of Bartolomeo Pedon (1665 -1732), one of the most interesting landscape painters of the Venetian artistic panorama of the Baroque age. Rich in vegetation, the landscape frames a path in the center that from the bush heads towards the wide valley, where you can see scattered farmhouses and a river in the distance; the landscape fades into blue colors that merge with the sky. On the path, in the foreground, several figures move, a woman with a jug on her head (on the left you can glimpse a small basin of water) who converses with the shepherdess sitting resting, while her sheep graze nearby, and other shepherds pass by on the path. The details of the vegetation as well as those of the buildings are accurate and well rendered. The painting is presented in a contemporary wooden frame, regilded at the beginning of the 20th century.
