Shepherd's Scene with a Laden Donkey, Roos, Philipp Peter 1657–1706 painter. General tones of brown against a background of a grey-blue sky with pink clouds and a slightly marked mountain range.

The foreground is a genre scene: next to a donkey laden with baskets a peasant secures the load; nearby are two dogs, two goats and two rams. 18th century, Italy; overdoor. Height 92.0 cm, width 127.5 cm., A dimly lit scene shows a group of animals standing closely together in a dark outdoor setting; visible are a dog-like animal with white and brown fur facing left, a few goats with textured fur and curved horns facing forward and slightly turned, and other indistinct animal forms partly in shadow. The colors visible include deep browns, dark blacks, muted whites, dull grays, and touches of warm ochre and reddish-brown, with highlights catching the animals' fur and faces.
