Ideal Pastoral Life

Description

Calvert was arguably one of the most skilled printmakers of his time. With masterful control of line, strong play of light and shade, and a bold sense of design, his small lithographs possessed surprising power, immersing viewers in intricate worlds. In this scene, a woman tends to a flock of sheep near a rustic fence while a man emerges from the woods, guiding a single sheep back to the group. Though this original image is barely 2×3” in size, Jitterbug has made it available in wall sized art with stunning detail.
