"The Shepherd's Vista" captures a picturesque rural scene in Provence through a trompe-l'oeil style, where the open window serves as a frame to the idyllic landscape beyond.
At the centre of the composition stands a majestic fortress, overlooking a sprawling countryside dotted with charming houses and vibrant fields of lavender. A shepherd tends to his flock by a peaceful stream, adding a touch of human presence to the tranquil setting.
The three-dimensional aspect of the artwork is further enhanced by the addition of sprigs of lavender and a small pouch on the windowsill, seamlessly integrating the artwork with its surroundings.
