| A young, blonde boy in blue overalls and vest, and white shirt stands shading his eyes from the sun next to a large woolly sheep. They are alone in a vast meadow with light pink wildflowers. The faces the viewer directly while the sheep turns his head to the right. Sinding has used thick surface texture on the sheep’s wool and the quick pink strokes to emphasize fullness of the wool and density of the meadow. |
