The pictures show forest clearings on mountains and a wide view of the distant valley. Cattle graze in the clearings. The composition of the two landscapes is mirror-symmetrical and designed as counterparts, with framing groups of trees on the “outside� and thin young trees on the “inside�. Rocks occupy the foreground on both sides, with a path running between them.In the left picture, cows are running in the pasture, the shepherd is sitting on the left with his dog under a tree. In the picture on the right, two shepherds are tending sheep and cattle. The cool light indicates a morning mood.The two atmospheric, decorative pictures are stylistically part of the turn of romantic landscape painting. Oil on canvas 45 x 64 cm
