This painting depicts a pastoral landscape with a group of sheep resting on a grassy hillside overlooking a steep cliff. Some of the sheep are lying down, while others stand, adding a sense of movement to the composition. A waterfall cascades in the distance, and a mountain range stretches across the background beneath a soft sky with wispy clouds. The painting is signed in the lower left corner by the artist, "E.E. Pudmezoglu."
The artist has employed a natural palette of greens, browns, and blues, using varied brushstrokes to render the texture of the sheep’s wool, the uneven terrain, and the misty background. Light and shadow create depth, drawing the eye from the foreground toward the distant mountains. The arrangement of the figures and the carefully executed perspective contribute to the sense of openness and scale within the scene.
The painting is set in a carved wooden frame with a gold-toned finish, featuring scrolling details along the inner and outer edges. The frame complements the rustic subject matter and is characteristic of traditional European landscape paintings from the late 19th or early 20th century. The artist’s signature suggests a focus on pastoral themes, emphasizing the relationship between domesticated animals and their natural environment.
