Story / Additional InfoThis painting was inspired by Pierre Bonnard’s interior scenes with a window that includes a landscape. The style is post impressionist. The title refers to the figurine of the shepherd holding a small lamb. The shadowy figure in the mirror contrasts with the little shepherd as the somber blues contrast with the bright yellows.The figure in the mirror hints at mystery or intrigue as opposed to the nostalgic shepherd boy. The bowl of eggs is a recurring symbol for this artist embodying the cycle of life perhaps.
