ertical drawing with resting shepherds in the foreground. One is sitting on the left while playing a wind instrument, another is resting on the ground in the opposite corner, giving his shoulders to the viewer. A mother and a child are sitting on the ground with two other children playing with each other. A couple is embracing. A shepherd holding a stick on his shoulder is walking up a path. The landscape is divided into two by the colour of the inks: the foreground is lighter brown, and the background is darker with finer lines. This detail and the Size of the sheet allow for direct comparison with cat. 1.03. The present drawing may refer to a simpler arcadia ideal landscape that adheres to the past, whereas the other shows a more contemporaneous version of it, with companies in richer attire and more imposing architecture in the background.
