Two shepherds sitting in the shade of an aspin while their sheep graze lend the scene a pastoral quality. The darkest parts in this print are in the shadow cast by the tree. Here too, Cozens created subtle variations in intensity by rendering some areas with contours, while others in the shadow are depicted with flowing sketch lines.
