Knud Sinding, Pastoral Scene With Shepherd

Knud Sinding, Pastoral Scene With ShepherdThis charming early 20th century pastoral scene by Danish artist Knud Sinding (1875 1946) captures a restful moment for a young shepherd. As he stands before a far reaching view, he plays a tune on the harmonica. His faithful dog looks on. Sinding was an accomplished artist and particularly well versed at capturing the abundant effects of light. Here, we see a Summertime coastal vista drenched in radiant tints. You can almost feel the heat emanating
